IT2 will obtain computers that are 100 to 1,000 times more powerful than those now available to the civilian research community, and make them available on a competitive basis
- These systems will have several thousand processors, high speed shared and distributed memory, and state of the art switching technology
- Install and develop systems capable of 5 trillion (a thousand billion) computations per second by the end of fiscal year 2000, and 40 trillion by the year 2003
