Mula - re: "They never really got into semiconductor research. Their work will become more important in future."

I hope so - it was non-existent in the past.

Re: " They did some good work on parallel computing studies. Particularly Tom Leighton & Charles Leiserson (SP??) comes to mind"

MIT has always emphasized SYSTEM-type research, and this is a good case in point.

As for the lack of dedicated semiconductor research at MIT, it is quite surprising - especially since the inventor of the Integrated Circuit (Bob Noyce) was an MIT grad.
