Megacomputer[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Doesn't appear that the term "megacomputer" is being used by anyone ~~except the single source~~(deadlinked), which happens to be the organization that created the "megacomputer". Fails GNG, NEO, sourcing policy, and the bulk of the article is a direct quote.

note there is an unrelated use of the term for a theoretical computer that has the same relationship to a supercomputer that a supercomputer has to a mainframe, but I'm not sure that's used beyond one fictional universe. HominidMachinae (talk) 06:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article says that there has only been one megacomputer and it has its own article. This one is only a definition of the word. Info on the topic is already in the other article. Borock (talk) 07:08, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A quick look at the current DEISA web site as well as an archive of the page referenced: http://web.archive.org/web/20080307143429/http://www.deisa.org/grid/architecture.php show neither uses the word "megacomputer". So it seems just made up. W Nowicki (talk) 17:08, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
