Abstract
Another revolution is occurring in computer hardware that will affect computer users in the power industry. The first generation of powerful personal1 computers for scientific applications is now on the market. These computers have several advantages over conventional computers: very fast graphics, uniform response time, and a visually-oriente user environment that increases user productivity dramatically. These advantages are the result of having a very powerful processor devoted to a single user's needs.Keywords
