     I will not attend, but IMHO the museum tour makes the event worth your
while.  Among other old iron like a Cray XMP, you get to see the connection
machine CM-2, a 1980s supercomputer that had 65,536 parallel CPUs networked
in a hypercube topology.  Imagine a black 5-foot cube built of 8 subcubes
and studded with 65,536 red LEDs!
