Japanese Computer Is World's Fastest, as U.S. Falls Back http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/20/technology/20COMP.html
And http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/24962.html "SAN FRANCISCO, April 19 � A Japanese laboratory has built the world's fastest computer, a machine so powerful that it matches the raw processing power of the 20 fastest American computers combined and far outstrips the previous leader, an I.B.M.-built machine. The achievement, which was reported today by an American scientist who tracks the performance of the world's most powerful computers, is evidence that a technology race that most American engineers thought they were winning handily is far from over. American companies have built the fastest computers for most of the last decade." -- William T Goodall [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk
