Abstract :
The author discusses the following architectures: mini-supercomputers; super-minicomputers; and high performance workstations. Such systems are becoming increasingly important in applications ranging from transaction processing to modeling physical systems, and are blurring the traditional performance/price hierarchy of minicomputers, mainframes, and traditional supercomputers
