Just spoke to Bill Howard at Celerity.  They claim to be obtaining 30 whetstone
mips on scale processor and 50 mflops on linpack.  With production cycle time
of 25ns/processor machine seems likely to be very fast.  They also claim that
they hare ahead of production schedule.  Rumor has it that they are about to 
conclude a deal with Motorola for the party support,  the fact that they
haven't leads me to speculate they want to keep maintanence for themselves or
their buyer.  The are trying to make a deal with one of the Japanese combines
to buy them out.  What is to come of this I am not sure.  Evidently they must
still be advertizing though because I just got three pretty new glossies from
them.
