423.0. "Hawking's new supercomputer?" by HERON::BLOMBERG (Trapped inside the universe) Tue May 20 1997 05:42

    
    
            On a english-speaking radio channel (Radio Riviera) I heared
            something rather confusing with the basic contents that
    
                    Steven Hawking in Cambridge has a new supercomputer
                    worth US$ 3 million called Cosmos. It's about the
                    size of two vending machines. With that he is
                    going to find out the truth about the Big Bang.
    
            Anybody know more about it?

	From http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/cosmos/ (q.v.) "The new national cosmology supercomputer - COSMOS - is a Silicon Graphics Origin2000 with 32 MIPS R10000 processors, 8 Gbytes of main memory, 70 Gbytes of hard disk storage and a DLT tape drive stacker. An Indy workstation - microcosm - acts as console. Upon arrival it was the largest Origin2000 in the UK and the first double-rack version."
