16-ghz Supercomputing ... the Dept. of Defense  contracted Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute to build this mammoth.  gave 'em $1 million!  Its
said to be 1,000 times faster than Intel's fastes screamer.  The DoD wants
them to build a "PetaOps" Super Computer (1,000 trillion operationsper
second)  the basic design calls for an 8-way super scalar architecture with
a 16-ghz clock that could reach 128 billion operations per second.  By
lashing 8 of these bad boys together, they expect to reach the speed of the
DARPA-specified machine.(info summary from july 97 pc magazine, page 9)
