According to PC Magazine (and on campus rumour), Prof. John MacDonald
here at RPI was given a $1 million grant from the DoD to build a supercomputer
based off of his fast RISC design (supposedly able to reach 16Ghz on each
chip).  They said that this would smoke the parallel PPro machines by many
hundreds oftimes over.
