Synopsis

This book presents important advances in the development of parallel computing by describing the design for a general-purpose MIMD parallel processor. The NYU Ultracomputer, as a massively parallel system composed of thousands of autonomous processing elements, is an approximation of Schwartz's idealized paracomputer model of computation. The book's examination of the network used to connect processing elements to a central shared memory is a highlight, as the enhanced network, switches, and interfaces are novel contributions to this field. Additionally, the book sets forth the results of analytic and simulation studies of the network and includes a sample of the author's efforts to implement parallel variants of important scientific codes. The work is a significant contribution to the field of computer science, advancing the development of highly concurrent and efficient computing systems.
