I'll be running hopefully at 500 processor partition (500 x 500Mhz = 250Ghz). Thanks to the dutch government and NWO, NCF, computermanufacturer SGI, WGS, IKAT, University of Maastricht and another number of organisations i forgot to mention here (but not deliberately) i am sure diep will try to do its utmost best in world champs 2003. Best regards, Vincent
