I think below information might be interesting for those CCLers currently
pondering which hardware to purchase... I still think a cluster of
SuperDSPs (Analog Devices SHARC, TI's new C6x family) offers significantly
more bang for the money (about 60 parallel GFLOPS for a 64-node 15 k$
cluster, or 70 Tera OPS/15 k$ (sic) in case of TI's chip). 

Regards,
Eugene Leitl
