据美国《计算机》杂志1991年第7期报道,世界上速度最快的巨型机不断推出。1990年3月,思维机器公司推出了CM-2,速度高达5.2Gflops(52亿次浮点运算/秒)。一年后的1991年5月31日,Intel公司为其研制的Touchstone Delta剪了彩,该机最高速度为8.6Gflops。然而时至6月4日思维机器公司又宣布研制成功“最快的”大规模并行巨型机CM-200,速度几乎为CM-2的两倍,高达 According to the United States, “Computer” magazine in 1991 No. 7 reported that the world’s fastest supercomputer continue to launch. March 1990, thinking machine company introduced the CM-2, up to 5.2Gflops (5.2 billion floating-point operations / second). One year later, on May 31, 1991, Intel Corp. cut its Touchstone Delta for a whopping 8.6Gflops. However, until June 4, Thinking Machine Corporation also announced the successful development of “the fastest” massively-parallel supercomputer CM-200, which is almost twice as fast as CM-2,
