None, because there is nothing to read :-).

Seriously, comp.hypercube seems to be dormant also.  Is there no interest
in hypercube architectures anymore?  Between the iPSC860, the NCUBE,
the Connection Machine and so on there ought to be some interest out there.
Granted, hypercubes are no longer fashionable (grids are in) but surely 
there must be interest in distributed memory computing in general.
