Abstract
In 1995 GRAPE project completed a special-purpose computer of Teraflops speed which was dedicated to gravitational many-body problem in astrophysics. Here described is a sequence of scientific motivations which led me to the project. The success of the GRAPE machine seems to have shown that dedicated computers are necessary components in constructing inhomogeneous multi-computer for computer-intensive grand challenge problems. A new project for sub-Petaflops GRAPE, which has recently been initiated, is also briefly mentioned.
