Such statements are undoubtedly correct in the long run, but I point out that there seems to be no slowing down of increases in processor speeds. I draw your attention to the new RS6000 series, the unannounced HP machine (said to be a screamer) and the 100 MIPS SPARC processor from TI. The real danger in parallel machines is that they seem to get obsolete alarmingly fast. R. Anand anand@top.cis.syr.edu
