Status of the Columbia 256-node machine

Abstract The first two weeks of successful operation of our 16 Gigaflop, 256-node parallel computer is reported. The characteristics of this machine and the two preceding versions are briefly reviewed. The physics program being run on those 16- and 64-node machines is described, with some discussion of new string tension results on large lattices obtained with the 64-node machine. Finally plans for a future 1 Teraflop machine are considered.
