Alliant and FPS were players in a competitive procurement that Alliant has now won with a FX/8 with three computational elements. Perofrmance on our benchmarks was impressive, bu t then we will really know once our machine gets here. The FX/8 should be on our Apollo ring by the end of March. We will be happy oto share our experiences.. ------- -------
