Battle of the Supercomputers

Posted by Hemos on Wednesday January 21, 1998 @08:15PM from the jingoism-in-computers dept.

NEC will be rolling out a new supercomputer, one of the few of the shrinking market, within the next few days. It's quite interesting to read some of the press releases about these supercomputers. NEC will be rolling out a new terraflops machine for use in climate and natural disaster modeling. Recently, the US Department of Energy announced that they will be buying more supercomputers as well-to model atomic bombs. Ironic, isn't it?
