The comp.parallel == comp.hypercube has as its charter dealing with
parallelism, PERIOD.  The original idea of comp.hypercube was to
have a group which would deal with implemented systems.  There is
much interest in all forms of parallelism and it spans many
groups.


The name change came about from the confusion over [ emotional 
attachment/disenchangtment with ] the name
