While comp.parallel is a better name than comp.hypercube, the best
name is comp.arch.parallel.  Some might say that parallel programming
is a software topic, not an architecture topic.  I wish that were
true, but it isn't.

[ Comment.  I thought of that, but I think the same argument as
  we have against "comp.hypercube" apply here.  For example,
  theoreticians or software engineers might say "Oh, that's
  machine implementation only."  Our readership spans a wide
  range of interests.

Subject: hypercube ==> parallel

I second the motion.
A point to note: there is a newsgroup called parsym, for parallel
symbolic computation.  I haven't seen much of it lately, but perhaps it should
be united with comp.parallel as well.

  Comment.  Good suggestion.  I'll check it out when we get at
  bit further on.
