Abstract

Concurrent processing, the use of many microcomputers working together on a single computation, is an attractive new approach to solving scientific problems previously requiring a supercomputer. The other advantages of commercial VLSI-based microcomputers--reduced size, weight, power, and cost--make them potentially useful elements of real-time systems. Intel has introduced the first commercial computer system based on the hypercube architecture developed at the California Institute of Technology. Now it is possible for designers of real-time systems to discover how to apply this new technology effectively.
