The teraflop supercomputer APEmille: architecture review and
project status report

Piero Vicini for the INFN APE collaboration
APEmille is very well suited for QCD, Fluid dynamic and
other numerical applications, both for
its hardware characteristics and for its software and language
features.
The machine has a SIMD architecture and different partitions of
the machine can be created being the machine hosted by a network
of PCI based commercial processors.
The status of the project as well as the software and hardware
keypoints are described in this talk.
