"routinely funded," Well one can defend or deny anything when one uses the word routinely. But in the defense industry Ir&d has gone to how do we use cots ever sense the fall of the Berlin Wall. The funding of the fastest computers is all based upon commercial demands. The fastest systems??? The bigest systems is more accurate. A few very large systems to do big problems more than to fund the development of the biggest systems. The fastest systems use biggest and are the interconnect of may computers. Some funding of esoteric interconnect technology does occur but commercial factors of making available terabytes for internet and commercial transactions are far and away the dominate reason.

Intel and Amd spend billions on the fastest microprocessors to have bragging rights for the best game computers.

Alpha is about to become extinct and G4 is going nowhere.

New .13 pIII with 512 cashe look very interesting for cots and SGI mips is also the place for low power, compute power.
