Joan: Re: Intel one trillion instructions per second processor. I think you're referring to Intel's TeraFLOPS supercomputer, built for the Department of Energy in order to conduct virtual weapons tests on the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. This supercomputer consists not of one processor that can perform one trillion instructions per second, but rather is a combination of more than 9,000 Pentium(R) Pro processors and about 580 GBytes of system memory. You can find lots of information about the TeraFLOPS system at ssd.intel.com This research is important to me, as I currently work in what's left of Intel's supercomputer division. Intel made a corporate decision last Spring not to continue selling supercomputers, so the TeraFLOPS system may be Intel's last hoorah in this business segment (it's hard to make the same margins on supercomputers as on chips :-) ).
