RE: Supercomputer

The problem is to get thousands of processors to work together on a single code (or problem). This is doable for IPP (inherently parallel problems), but but involves enormous waste for mixed parallel-sequential problems. Intel has funded a neat project at Berkeley-LBL too interconnect a large number of workstations and configure them on the fly to process at the appropriate degree of parallelism, and to let them go about their individual business when they aren't needed for the gang thrash.
