Adventures in parallelism: Celebrating 30 years of parallel computing at
Argonne

Again, Argonne was at the forefront. Building on its experience with
parallel computing, the laboratory acquired an IBM SP -- the first
scalable, parallel system to offer multiple levels of I/O capability
(the speed to read and write data) essential for increasingly complex
scientific applications

reference to meeting early jan1992 in ellison's conference room on ha/cmp
cluster scaleup
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13
other email from period on cluster scaleup
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#medusa

within hrs of last email above, end of jan1992, cluster scaleup is
transferred and we are told we can't work on anything with more than
four processors (major motivation in decision to leave). it is then
shortly announced as IBM supercomputer ... press item from 17feb1992
... for scientific and technical *ONLY*

then later press article 11May1992, company caught by *SURPRISE*
