Caught the tail-end of a story about Intel's new Supercomputer. THE "Worlds fastest" super computer. What speeds are we talking about as compared to the connection machine etc? It is a 512 processor machine , a DARPA collaboration of 12 Universities . . . Anyone have more details?? Thanks. -- Rob Young young@tattoo.cs.widener.edu It is considered awkward to use seriously such words as good and evil. But if we are to be deprived of those concepts, what will be left?
