I dunno. i860s will work with denormalized numbers (which kills performance, IMHO). >Aren't really large problems of interest sparse matrices anyway? Who Not really, talk to Boeing, for example. I wish they'd publish on what they're doing, but they're so damn secure that some of their employees almost had a fit during an Intel class when it was mentioned that they had a ipsc/860 and were running LOOCS. -- J.
