A while ago I posted the FTP site for the publications relating to
the Carnegie Mellon/Intel SSD built iWarp parallel computers.

To make the announcement short:

Decommisioned old ftp site: puffin.warp.cs.cmu.edu, 128.2.206.42
New ftp site:               skylark.warp.cs.cmu.edu, 128.2.222.122
User:                       anonymous... no password
Content:                    several publications relating to iWarp
                            and Fortran FX.

Given that there are not too many of these iWarp machines around
(1000-2000 nodes total) I thought that the archive is no longer used. But oh
well - less than five days after dedicating puffin.warp.cs.cmu.edu to
something else.  I started getting complaints. So please take a note
about that change.

PS: iWarp is a building block for parallel computers. It is similar to
transputers in its concepts except that it always delivered 20MFlops +
20MIPS computation speed and 320MBytes/sec communication bandwidth per
node, consisting of a single integrated chip and memory. iWarps are
typically 2D toruses with 16-256 nodes.
