Abstract:
We overview the GRAPE-6 project, a follow-up of the teraflops GRAPE-4
project. GRAPE-6 will be completed by 1999-2000 and its planned peak
speed is 200 Tflops. Its architecture will be largely similar to that
of GRAPE-4, which is a specialized hardware to calculate the
gravitational interaction between particles. The improvement in the
speed will come mainly from the advance in the silicon semiconductor
technology. GRAPE-6 will enable us to directly simulate the evolution
of star clusters with up to 1 million stars.
