Sandia National Labs has 64 bit floating point requirements similar to
yours for our semiconductor device modeling and circuit simulation needs.
Alliant and FPS were players in a competitive procurement that Alliant
has now won with a FX/8 with three computational elements.  Perofrmance
on our benchmarks was impressive, bu t then we will really know once
our machine gets here.  The FX/8 should be on our Apollo ring by
the end of March.  We will be happy oto share our experiences..
