John,

you leave the impression that the Butterfly Gateway has nothing to
do with butterfly multiprocessor! The multiprocessor is indeed a general
purpose machine. It has been used by BBN to build a more powerful
internet gateway. Clearly, it can be used for other things. Lincoln Labs
did a very fast FFT implementation using a 16 processor version, I believe.
