Surprise
Interest has been building in recent months over the imminent arrival of a new class of supercomputer, called the ''supercomputer on a desk'' or the single-user model. Most observers expected the first such product to come from either of two startups, Ardent Computer Corp. or Stellar Computer Inc. But a surprise entry has shown up. Apollo Computer Inc. is launching a new work station this week that racks up an impressive list of industry first as it puts supercomputer power at the disposal of a single user. The new series 10000 from the Chelmsford, Mass., a company is built around a reduced-instruction-set architecture that the company calls Prism, for parallel reduced-instruction-set multiprocessor. This article describes the 10000 and Prism.
