The Connection Machine has been a commercial product for several years. There are at least two current models, CM-1 and CM-2, each with potentially as many as 64K real processors. For a fairly recent description see the article by Tucker and Robertson in IEEE Computer Magazine, August 1988. Recently an offer was posted on comp.parallel to provide internet access to a CM-2 at Thinking Machines Corporation. Accounts were being offered on request; however, I requested one and was placed on a waiting list. For information contact David Ray (ray@think.com).
