Supercomputing — What is new

The current situation in the supercomputer market is discussed. New manufacturers try to market massively parallel systems. In 1990, several new subsidiaries were founded. On the other hand, the German supercomputer project SUPRENUM was cancelled. As there are no new interesting systems compared to the workshop in 1989, the situation in Japan is discussed in some detail, although the information sources differ in figures, systems and companies. Finally, a list of supercomputer installations in Germany is provided.
