Introduction

Abstract

AbstractThe architecture of many massively parallel high-performance computing systems (e.g., Thinking Machines Corporation’s CM-5, Intel Corporation’s Paragon multiprocessor) rely on hundreds of commercially-available microprocessors to provide computing power in a cost-effective manner. Microprocessor architectures and implementations are becoming increasingly sophisticated, e.g., the Alpha microprocessor introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation operates at speeds of 200 MHz. Other approaches to high-performance computing (e.g., vector processing) soon will be unable to match the performance provided bv massivelv parallel computers.KeywordsGlobal MemoryIteration SpaceMemory ModuleData AssignmentMemory HierarchyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
