Re: Earlier posting of NASA Ames Seminar

If you read the body of the abstract, you would find that CFD stands for:
	computational fluid dynamics.
It is a application which is one of the driving forces for super computers
and "fifth generation" computers.  It is computationally intensive [in
many cases worse than O(n sup 3)].

Gee, this could lend a whole new meaning to the term 'floating point' :-)
