Parallel Computing has come of age with several commercial and in- house systems available which not only promise, but realize supercomputer or better performance. We survey several major computations underway on hypercubes, transputer arrays and the SIMD Connection Machine CM-2 and AMT DAP. Where possible, we compare parallel implementations with those on CRAY and other high performance conventional computers. We summarize these experiences as a set of lessons for applications, decomposition, performance, hardware and software for parallel machines. 94 refs., 18 figs., 9 tabs.
