<p class="MsoNormal">I'm imaging the 8"-on-a-side thing as an Array Coprocessor; the way NVIDIA cards can be used. Video cards fill an ISA card slot (in my day an uber gaming rig could use two in tandem in adjacent slots). Mine was a box about the length
of my hand that filled the card, it had appreciable memory, maybe a quarter of my core. I can imagine that scaling up. Probably can do well with LINPACK :-)<u></u><u></u></p>
