"Five years from now, we should be at 100 billion gigaFLOPS. A problem that takes three months to do now, we want to do in a day." -- Steve Chen, Time magazine article, March 28, 1988, page 58. I also noted in this issue that the Cray-3 was "due to be released in 1989." 100 billion gigaFLOPS is 100 million teraFLOPS, which sounds very fast to me. "Five years from now" is coming up in a few months. 100 billion GFLOPS sounds ambitious. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It is seldom that any liberty is lost all at once."
