I just read an article about some achievement at Sandia in regards
to getting close to the theoretical maximum improvement that a 
multi-processor has over a single processor. (ya know, really running
1K times faster on a 1K processor machine).  Unfortunately, it was
in EE times, so the technical details were a little light (:-)  
The results are to published in a "journal of the Society for 
Industrial and Applied Mathematics," according to this article, and
the guys responsible got a prize at IEEE's compcon last month.  

Does anyone know anything more about this?
