 | | The 64-node Cosmic Cube was used more or less continuously from October, 1983 to mid-1984 on what was termed by Caltech, a ``mammoth calculation'' in the press release shown in Figure 4.2. |
 | | If its designers are right, their experimental device, called the Cosmic Cube, will open the way for solving problems in meteorology, aerodynamics, high-energy physics, seismic analysis, astrophysics and oil exploration, to name a few. |
 | | The Cosmic Cube has about one-tenth the power of the most widely used supercomputer, the Cray-1, but at one hundredth the cost, about $80,000. |
