I need the proof for the computability of
Speed problem : Find the fastest program P
SP(i) = j | Pj is fastest (with Pj equivalent to Pi)
It is a kind of "Halting problem". This problem is not computable.
(I may even describe the problem incorrectly!)

I am looking for an overview article treating the TSP problem. I am NOT looking for a book like Lawler, Lenstra,..., just an article written for broad diffusion, something that could for instance appear in Scientific American or some other kind of journal, and that would give beside the statement of the problem also an overview on the heuristics, achieved results, etc.
