About this title

Synopsis

This volume traces the development of parallelism in large-scale computers and explains the main principles of pipelined and array-like machines, introducing at the same time a novel structural notation for the classification of all computer architectures. Several current designs like CRAY-1, CDC CYBER 205, FPS AP-120B, ICL DAP and Burroughs BSP) are analyzed in detail and their performances on a number of applications such as Poisson-solving, FFT and matrix operations are compared using a two-parameter characterization. Considered a classic in the field.
