国际公司将利用它的i860微机联合开发大规模并行超大型计算机,在一套2000台处理机的系统中。最高可实现128兆次运算。与国防远景规划局(DARPA)的合资经营中,上述的超大型计算机,属于试金石(Touchstone)计划下的一个项目,由政府的2,750万美元投资作后盾。将于1991年提供一台超大型计算机的样机。作为试金石计划中的另一项目,国际公司与国防远景规划局将共同发起研制一种高速通信网络。其设计能力至少要达到2.8M比特/秒的Intelipsc/2系统的40倍,Inter ipsc/2是国际公司的第二代并行超大型计算机。
The international company will use its i860 microcomputer to jointly develop large-scale parallel supercomputers in a 2,000-processor system. Up to 128 mega operations can be achieved. In a joint venture with the Defense Vision Planning Agency (DARPA), the aforementioned supercomputer is a project under the Touchstone project backed by the government’s $27.5 million investment. A prototype of a very large computer will be provided in 1991. As another project in the touchstone project, the international company and the Defense Vision Planning Bureau will jointly initiate the development of a high-speed communications network. Its design capability is at least 40 times that of the Intelipsc/2 system at 2.8 Mbit/s, and Inter ipsc/2 is the second-generation parallel supercomputer for international companies.
