Developments in computer networks are making parallel processing machines accessible to an increasing number of scientists and engineers. Several vector and array processors are already commercially available, as are costly systolic, wavefront, and massive parallel processors. This article discusses the Applied Physics Laboratory's entry: a low-cost, memory-linked wavefront array processor that can be used as a peripheral on existing computers. Available today as the family of QUEN processors, it is the first commercial parallel processor to bring Cray 1 computation speeds into the minicomputer price range. 5 refs.
