A tiny nit to pick here. The Cray T3D and T3E computers are massively parallel machines consisting of DEC Alpha chips hooked up in a 3D Torus configuration. They would probably make pretty decent key search engines,
Not compared to programmable logic devices, they wouldn't...
And that is, after all, the point...
My point was that the T3D is not a "general-purpose supercomputer."
Well, thats moot -- it isn't a special purpose keysearch machine, and thats whats really needed. Alpha's don't cut it... Perry
