This 10in cube is not all that unfeasible. In the December '88 issue of Electronics magazine there is an article on a speech Seymour Cray gave about the Cray-3 due out last quarter this year. It clearly states that "The Cray-3 will pack all the circuitry for a full-blown 16-processor machine with 4 gigabytes of main memory into less than a cubic foot of space." It also goes on to state that it will be capable of "16 billion floating-point operations/s". Yes, that is floating point ops not ops. It goes into more detail about it, but the main issue is they are using GaAs chips which are very miniaturized. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ |J Les Perkins ---> les@uokmax | ...!sun!texsun!uokmax!les | |University of Oklahoma |---------------------------|__________ |Engineering Computer Network | Opinions contained herein are bogus.|
