Abstract
We describe the completed 8,192-node, 0.4Tflops machine at Columbia as well as the 12,288-node, 0.6Tflops machine assembled at the RIKEN Brookhaven Re search Center. Present performance as well as our experience in commissioni ng these large machines is presented. We outline our on-going physics progr am and explain how the configuration of the machine is varied to support a wide range of lattice QCD problems, requiring a variety of machine sizes. F inally a brief discussion is given of future prospects for large-scale latt ice QCD machines.
