Found this from a DJB paper:

Parallel Collision Search with Cryptanalytic Applications

Paul C. van Oorschot and Michael J. Wiener

CHECK THE DATE:

1996 September 23

p.1

The practical significance of the technique is illustrated by giving the
design for three $10 million custom machines which could be built with
current technology: one finds elliptic curve logarithms in GF(2^155)
thereby defeating a proposed elliptic curve cryptosystem in expected
time 32 days, the second finds MD5 collisions in expected time 21
days...

I know the dollar is not what it used to be, but same applies to
hardware IMHO

Metadata of the PDF is in the future, suggests windows.

This is paywalled:
