How far can we go with SISD (Signle instraction, signle data) machines ? every given computer is not fast enough, by defenition. So paralel and/or distributed computers is the answer, but each node will cost too much if it will be a super (Think about MOSIX run on 64 vax 9000 ....) . So they make every node from a fast CPU (i860) but not the fastest. Think about machine with 64 nodes, each as fast as cray 2. Think about the almost-unlimited speed (Will be enough for us ??? ) ( Think about the *COST* ;-) ) --ury
