- What I found amusing in Bell's article was the claims that KSR had proven
- that its architecture was scalable to 1088 nodes. At a talk I heard they
- had never tried constructing a machine with more than 128 nodes, and have
- little experinece with machines larger than 64 nodes. Thats a long way
- from 1088. It reminds me of the claims TMC has made about the CM5's
- scalability to 16K nodes.
