	NEC Global - Press Release
		NEC Corporation today announced the worldwide launch and availability of the SX series model "SX-8," the world's most powerful vector supercomputer with a peak processing performance of 65TFLOPS (TFLOPS: one trillion floating point operations per second).
		To respond to these needs, NEC has developed the new vector supercomputer, which boasts greatly improved operating and price performance in comparison with scalar servers that are used for large-scale and large-capacity scientific computing.
		NEC Corporation (NASDAQ: NIPNY) (FTSE: 6701q.l) is one of the world's leading providers of Internet, broadband network and enterprise business solutions dedicated to meeting the specialized needs of its diverse and global base of customers.

	NEC SX NQS Configuration User Guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The NEC SX load is composed mostly of large numerical simulations.
		Usually, when a NEC SX machine is removed from service, NQS saves the state of each running job ("checkpoints" the job.) So that jobs can continue where they left off before the shutdown.
		NEC SX computers have a job checkpointing facility which saves the state of a job, so that it can be restarted from where it left off.

	The NEC SX-8.
		The official NEC documentation quotes higher peak performances because the peak performance of the scalar processor (rated at 4 Gflop/s, see below) is added to the peak performance of the vector processor to which it belongs.
		There are two ways to couple the SX-8 frames in a multi-frame configuration: NEC provides a full crossbar, the so-called IXS crossbar to connect the various frames together at a speed of 8 GB/s for point-to-point unidirectional out-of-frame communication (1024 GB/s bisectional bandwidth for a maximum configuration).
		The NEC SX-8 was announced in November 2004.

		At the end of 1987, NEC improved its supercomputer family with the A-series which gave improvements to the memory and I/O bandwidth.
		The vector cycle time was brought down to 2.9 ns, the number of pipelines was doubled, but most significantly NEC added multiprocessing capability to its new series.
		In 1992 NEC announced the SX-3R with a couple of improvements compared to the first version.

	NLR installs NEC SX-5 - Fastest supercomputer in the Netherlands
		The National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) in the Netherlands, has installed an NEC SX-5/8 supercomputer with 64 GBytes of main memory and 64 GFlop/s of peak performance.
		The estimated position in the famous TOP 500 list is in the second half of the first 100 and this assures NLR has the fastest supercomputer in the Netherlands.
		This was replaced by an NEC SX-3 in 1991, an NEC SX-4 in 1996 and now with the latest NEC SX-5 system.

	Preliminary NEC SX-6 Performance Evaluation
		Cray invited researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to evaluate the performance of a NEC SX-6/8 demonstration system.
		The second step of the evaluation was to port and benchmark codes that have not been run on NEC vector systems before, but for which which we have recent benchmark data on other systems.
		When all processors are communicating in the node, the SX-6/8 always achieves better performance than the p690, as much as 20 times better when swapping 2MB messages.

		Their new limited-production system, the HPC Server SX-8i, is capable of processing 16 billion FLOPS—pretty decent compared to the 136,800 GFLOPS of IBM's full Blue Gene supercomputer.
