	List of the world's most powerful computing sites as of 11-JAN-1993
	===================================================================

This list is a compilation of the world's most powerful computing sites as
submitted to me by Usenet readers and compiled from various other sources. It
is ordered more or less by computing power. This list will be posted out weekly
to people on my mailing list and monthly to comp.sys.super & comp.parallel If
you have any corrections, changes, additions or deletions to make to this list,
please mail them to me 'gunter@uwa.oz.au' providing information in the format
shown below. 

Notes. Workstations are not included unless incorporated into a parallel
processing cluster. Planned installations are listed with dates following 
equipment in brackets. Current minimum performance per equipment for inclusion 
is 7 Mflops.
