Hello !

I thought about parallel machines a lot and would now like to ask you a
question:
Given the technology in the labs today, how would your parallel DreaMachine
look like ? What grain size, how many grains, which topology or network,
which technology, would it have optical elements, what kind of software,
languages, parallel primitives, applications, man-machine interfaces,
memory design, router technology, data vault, graphic, applications,
algorithms , synchronicity ...

Just curious how such a MPMD (MultiplePeopleMultipleDesign) machine would 
look like.
