No more NSA supra-computer?
Yesterday I was talking with a friend, and the subject of supercomputers
came up. Naturally, I mentioned the NSA 7000 Y-MP equivalent and Gunter
Ahrendt's list of supercomputers worldwide (finger

that he couldn't find that machine on Gunter's list; sure enough, it's been
removed.
Anybody know what happened to this machine? Did they lose funding? Decide
it's not worth it? Is there some sort of subterfuge involved?
It would be nice to think the Congress killed it, or decided to give the
computer to a university, instead.
