Actually the last issue of Discover talks about a guy investigating the
interaction of stars who has created a computer that runs at the
petaflop level...That'd be 1,000 times faster than the Intel/Sandia
machine...It's a specialized computer like Deep Blue, but specialization
looks to be the wave of the future for supercomputers...Besides who
cares if the damn machine runs Pentium chips...Parallel any set of 9,200
chips, be it PPC, alpha, or SPARc, and your gonna get teraflops....
