Computers manufactured by the Japanese companies NEC, Hitachi and Fujitsu are encroaching on the capabilities of supercomputers produced by Cray. The Japan National Aerospace Lab is to receive a supercomputer, while other machines are being applied to fast breeder reactor and fusion studies. A 140 Mflop device is being used by a jet-engine and turbo-pump manufacturer and several national universities are buying mainframes for cut-rate prices from Japanese manufacturers who wish to encourage engineering students to work for the manufacturers. A Cray X-MP is now owned by Nissan and used to accelerate car RandD. The same company will design and produce the strap-on boosters for the H-II launch vehicle. Also noted are research efforts to develop machines an order of magnitude more powerful than current supercomputers.
