Export controls for high performance digital computers updated; licensing required for computers or parallelising software that breach the performance threshold. Amendment reclassifies 'Parallel processing Super Computers' as 'Digital Computers and Software,' covering (i) digital computers exceeding a specified Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP) threshold and (ii) software or interconnection schemes that parallelise computers to exceed that CTP. The CTP is to be calculated under a separately notified scheme; individual computers at or below the threshold do not require an export licence unless supplied with parallelising software or interconnections. The definition includes various advanced processor types and certain image enhancement equipment, excluding integral medical imaging adjuncts.
