Having just read Gordon Bell's article on supercomputers in the latest
CACM, I have to ask: Is Bell financially associated with KSR?  His
bio did not mention anything, but he seems a bit biased to me.

Also, there appears to be an error in Table 1b of the article.  It lists
the KSR 1 as achieving 513 Gflops on Linpack 1000, with 32 processors.
Maybe it should be 513 Mflops--does anyone know for sure?

Disclaimer: I am employed by Tera, so I *am* biased.
