- While we are talking about computer manufacturers, what is the net.feeling
- on the supercomputer market? Is Cray Research a promising pick for '93,
- or has Fujitsu's announcement of a parallel-vector processor in the 335
- GFLOP range taken the wind out of Cray's sails (or sales)? What do you
- make of Digital's Alpha processor (to be used by Cray in '93, I believe)
- versus IBM's approach of harnessing a team of RS/6000s together? Who
- are the other players in this game?
-
- Any and all recommendations for reading material greatly welcomed!
