Abstract
Some details of arithmetic of two representatives of computers (a superscalar workstation and a vector uniprocessor) available in the Czech Republic for scientific computing are described. Consequently, their efficiency and precision on a set of linear algebraic tasks solved by different solvers is compared.
This work was supported in part by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic with grant No. 201/93/0067.
