- First, I assume your mean Cray Research, Inc.
-
- Second, CRI has announced a three-phase strategy for a scalable parallel
- system. The third phase, as I understand it, would result in a machine
- with a peak of 3 teraflops, not 300.
-
- Third, CRI is using Alpha for the first phase, but it is not committed
- to using Alpha for either the second or third.

- (I know this didn't answer your 1000 teraflops question...)
