Thank you very much! >Scott Galuska I once proposed, in an SBIR to the NSF, that MAPLE from U @ Waterloo be ported to transputer-based multicomputers. Unfortunately, 3 of 4 reviewers called my ideas "niave," and the project was not funded. Massively parallel symbolic computation is coming of age. The Deprit's at NIST have actually built a symbolic computation system for the connection machine. For the transputer, only time will tell. I don't think you'll see Mathematica or MACSYMA, because these codes are huge toxic wastedumps, and are unlikely to be decomposed and parallelized to run on more than one cpu. -- Richard M.
