   I know that there are 64k-node machines in existance (65536).
   I'm quite sure that the architecture allows up to 128k nodes.
   I don't know if one has been built (I think so).

I think you're confusing the CM-5 with the CM-2.  A 64K CM-5 would truly be
an amazingly big machine.  I think the biggest CM-5 is 1024 nodes.
