25 June 1999: The latest list of the world's 500 fastest computers, released last week at the Supercomputing '99 conference in Mannheim, Germany, is headed by SNL's teraflops computer. A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette column of briefs noted the success: "The top spot is held by a one-of-a-kind machine called ASCI Red at Sandia ... that links 9,472 processors and can perform 2.1 trillion calculations a second. Behind it is the ASCI Blue at [LANL]. ... Its 6,144 processors can perform 1.6 trillion calculations a second."

If those of you who volunteered to be session
chairs could please email me, I will set up a mailing
list for 'chairs.'
Those who don't volunteer, will be assigned other tasks!
;-)
If anyone works with particular software vendors who you
think might be
interested in participating, please forward me their
email addresses. Our
web designer is busy working on the web page. We
are busy modifying the
Sandia Access Database to fit our program and trying
to obtain a server.
Registration will be done through the web via ASP, IIS
direct to the
database.
