Alliant Computer Inc has been talking with the Nippon Keizai Shimbun, inter alia revealing that new machines are on the way for launch later this year that will incorporate parallel processing technology, and feature a new operating system and language compilers – and that it is considering licensing its parallel processing technology to Japanese manufacturers: Alliant established a subsidiary in Japan last year, and it will be increasing the staff at its local unit to around 80 people; looking in this direction, the company indicated plans to make a splash in Europe, with the intention of establishing a solid base ahead of the Single Market.
