There was a parsing ambiguity in my earlier posting about superlinear speedups. The Tech Report is not about such speedups, rather about the chare kernel, a "machine independent parallel programming system". (More on that later). The superlinear speedup in specific cases was a very recent observation while running programs on this system on an Intel hypercube with 64 processors. I have no papers documenting the superlinear speedups, yet. (In fact, I am not sure there will ever be.) L.V. Kale (kale@cs.uiuc.edu)
