Intel has released the iPSC/2, which is a 386 & 387 based system (check the product announcements in the latest IEEE Computer & call your Intel Rep). Min. memory is 1Mb. I think you can add up to 8Mb w/o a daughter board. Network bandwidth is five-fold the iPSC. The network uses a cut-through packet routing method. Your first hop costs you about 320 microseconds and every hop after that (assuming two packets don't collide) costs you 20 microseconds. Don't know what kind of software they're planning, but they do have an agreement with CalTech, and you might see the Reactive Kernel running, as well as the current NX system.
