  I thought I'd point out that Syracuse University is also getting in to
  parallel programming in a big way. We have a great variety of equipment
  including 

     2 Connection machines ( A CM1 and a CM2) each with 64k processors.
     An Encore Multimax with 18 processors.
     An Alliant FX/8 with 8 processors.

  plus more on the way. As may be imagined there are numerous projects
  underway on the above machines. I my self am working with Dr. Per
  Brinch Hansen here on the implementation of a distributed programming
  language on the Multimax. 

  Another group has developed a parallel version of the APL language
  for the Alliant. Several symbolic languages and tools are under
  development on the connection machine. There is much opportunity
  for research here.

  Recently a center for molecular computing has also opened here.
