The Monte Carlo Array Processor(MAP) at Liverpool University has been fully operational for 5 months. The system consists of 300 PC's connected via fast ethernet. Details of the performance of MAP will be presented together with issues arising from the first 6 months of operation. The integration of MAP into the proposed new metacomputer architecture (The GRID) will discussed. GRID will provide the new paradigm for computing in the coming decades and represents a step forwards comparable to the internet, with comparable consequences for all scientific (and commercial) activities. Specific plans for the scaling of MAP to the coming extreme requirements of the next generation of high energy physics experiments will also be presented.
