Does anybody know anything about a Soviet machine named "Elbruf?"
It was mentioned in a trade rag as being for nuclear energy simulation,
is a "parallel" machines and costs $15M.  I know that NYU has an extensive
collection of information [I have their Soviet bibliography on parallel
processing], but I could not find a reference to this machine.  Anybody
on the net know anything?

Hmm. Don't remember seeing any site 'elbruf' in the European netnews map.
