To summarize, I believe that for special purpose supercomputing, the =
MISC
approach will be 10 times the performance/price of the general purpose
approach. I remains to be seen whether this is enough for somebody to
make money on that.

My experience is that 10X price-performance is a *minimum* acceptable =
level for *viability* of a special-purpose computer. If you want to =
talk about *profitability* or *growth*, better make that 100X!
