Nice boost to NEC's efforts, I'd say.  Just out of curiousity, what 
U.S., Japanese and European companies are in the supercomputer biz:

Company		  Country	  Model	               Benchmarket
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cray		  US		  X/MP, Y/MP, II       Current US top of line
Cray		  US		  III (Q3 '90)	       6 ns cycle, GaAs
NEC/Honeywell	  Japan/US        SX series (Q3 '90)   22 GFlops, 3 ns cycle
Fujitsu           Japan           VP2000 series	       4 GFlops, uniprocessor
Fujitsu/Siemens   Japan/Euro      VP2000 series	('90)  16 GFlops, 4 processor
ETA		  US (sayonara)   ETA-10
IBM/Steven Chen	  US		  In development
Hitachi/NAS/Comparex Info. Systeme
		  Japan/US/FRG	  ??                     
	
        <feel free to correct me or fill in others;  be sure to include
	 as much info on models/MFlops to keep this somewhat architectural.
	 also keep it to supercomputer/minisuper class>

I'll keep a summary of responses (via mail, pref.) and post the lot in a 
week or so.  It'll be interesting to see who is doing what and where it will
be happening.
