Carl,

Oh Boy! Leave it to the US Government to show the way for "U.S. manufacturers to produce computer chips in a new way".

The list of technological innovations out of the US National Laboratories is mind boggling, including many innovations in the semiconductor industry.

I have worked at several National Labs (Sandia and Los Alamos) as well as numerous computer and semiconductor companies. You would be very surprised to find out how closely tied Intel is to the National Laboratory system. One of the main reasons that the Intel Rio Rancho fab is located there is because of proximity to the two largest National Laboratories. Intel has benefited greatly from these relationships.

For example:
1997 The world's fastest computer, the massively parallel teraflops machine, becomes fully operational at Sandia. The teraflops (which stands for one trillion floating point operations per second) has nearly 600 billion bytes of memory and is capable of performing up to 1.8 teraflops. Although used in various ways, this "ultracomputer" was built to help develop the higher-resolution, three-dimensional physics modeling needed to evaluate the aging nuclear weapon stockpile without actual full-scale nuclear testing.
