I think that comp.hypercube will be very useful, especially since there
are several hypercube machines on the market and there is alot of interest
in various aspects of hypercubes - software, architecture and algorithms.

I think there is need for comp.arch.par to discuss other parallel 
architectures, including current "paper ones".  I would like to see 
discussion on the Connection Machine, Butterfly/Monarch, etc...
