I saw a newspaper article about the ETA-10. It is supposedly a multiprocessor (up to 10 CPUs) with CRAY-2 level performance from each processor. It uses supercooled CMOS (cooling for speed, CMOS for density - does this actually work?). The first one (fewer than 10 processors) is going/gone to some Florida university. (I thought Livermore or Los Alamos usually got the first of anything interesting.) Does anyone actually know anything about this machine? (I don't trust newspapers with computer details other than color.) -andy -- UUCP: ...!decwrl!glacier!shasta!andy forwards to ARPA: andy@sushi.stanford.edu (415) 329-1718/723-3088 home/cubicle

I'll try and dig it up. I can definitely say that the sales info exists, the machine well ........ Ken Latham, AT&T-IS (via SDA Inc.), Orlando , FL uucp: ihnp4!bsdpkh!latham
