We are currently in the design phase of a two year project that will result in the realization of a computer that will outperform today's supercomputers (Cray X/MP) by a factor of 20 to 30. This machine will be designed with special purpose integrated circuit chips that are being designed particularly for this project. It is intended that the total sale price of each of these machines will be about $150,000 each, thus resulting in a very high cost performance ratio, which will be about 50 times better than any hardware in existence today. This machine should have a major impact on how molecular dynamics simulations are being performed throughout the world. This project will be carried out through the use of a cooperative research and development agreement with a computer manufacturer.

我们目前正在设计一个为期两年的项目， 最终实现了一台性能超过今天的计算机 超级计算机（Cray X/MP）的20至30倍。这台机器将是 设计有专用集成电路芯片， 专门为这个项目设计的。我们的目标是，总销售 每台机器的价格约为15万美元，因此 导致非常高的性价比，约为50 比现在的任何硬件都要好10倍。这台机器应该 对分子动力学模拟 在世界各地演出。该项目将通过 使用与一个国家的合作研究和开发协议， 电脑制造商。
