Sure, but I am a little confused with regard to the journalistic hype
that presents it as a kind of dramatic paradigm shift, without on the
other hand ever precisely indicating what classes of problems exist
that are radically intractable at a teraflops level but do not require
in the least esaflops or ettaflops computers...
