Recently, the US government adjusted the definition of a supercomputer for
trade purposes: the minimum peak floating-point performance that a computer
must have before being defined as a supercomputer was raised.

Does anyone know what this minimum performance was raised to, and what it
used to be before?

As I do not read this newsgroup, please send responses to arakawa@scf.usc.edu
Thank you.
