| We describe the simple nature of parallel machines like the nCUBE2 |
| Technologies include conventional, superconducting and Quantum systems but the former dominates |
| Sequential architectures are dominated by memory (cache) issues |
| Vector, SIMD MIMD are classic architectures |
| There is a growing interest in distributed metacomputers |
| Special purpose machines are typically not so successful |
| The details of networks is not as important as it used to be! |
