Hi, supercompuer gurus:
    We are going to get a project which will allow us to burn about
    300K to 400K for a new computer. The main task is ocean modeling,
    we are going to run several big 3 D CDF codes and water quality
code
    on it. Currently, we have a Alliant FX/40, but this one can't 
    handle this project. Basicly we are looking for 30 to 1 speed
    up relatively to Alliant Fx/40 in terms of floating point 
    computation. We have tested SGI 480, dose not look promising.
    
    We have some reservations about parallel computer, we don't
    want to speed a lot of time to rewrite our fortran code to
    get the peak performance.

    If you  have any suestions and similar experience in shoping
     for a big box, please give us some advice.
    
    Thanks a lot.
