I am developing an introductory course in parallel computing and will
shortly be writing a proposal for equipment.  I would like like to have a
multiprocessor system which runs Unix with shared memory and some fairly
small number of processors (4?, 8?, 16?).  What is available for < $50,000?
I know that 4 processor Suns are available in that price range, but these
are really designed to be server machines and come with big disks.  What I
would like is something with more processors for less money.  I am not
particularly worried about absolute performance, since the machines would be
used primarily for teaching.
