ETL.          (Jul 2, 1990)  A visit to the Data Flow project at ETL is summarized. The Dataflow SIGMA-1 computer project is ending. The new project EM-4, will have 1,024 processors and is designed to have less overhead. EM-4 was originally proposed for symbolic rather than numeric computation, but the designers now feel that with the inclusion of floating point hardware it will also be used for numerical computation. Currently an 80 processor version of EM-4 is running at 997 MIPs.
