Pardon my ruffled feathers, but IMHO this is not so! The Butterfly was a fine example of a massively parallel computer. It was, unfortunately, seldom deployed with the full complement of 128 processors.
Well, the Butterfly was used in many capacities. As a communications processor, it stunk and never was deployed in production with more than 4 processors (or am I wrong?). That is why BBN is dead, and Cisco is a 4 billion dollar per year company. BBN used to totally dominate the router business until they started in with POS like the Butterfly. Didn't sell many of them as massively parallel systems either. regards, fletcher (ex. fkittred () bbn com, fkittred () das harvard edu)
