S-1 Mark IIA supercomputer

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6809221
This paper describes the S-1 Mark IIA Multiprocessor System. It is composed of up to 16 supercomputer class uniprocessors with multiple local caches, an extremely large, medium-latency high-bandwidth shared memory, and a low-latency synchronization mechanism for passing short messages. The system is applicable to a wide variety of applications, including large-scale physical simulation, real-time command and control and program development in a time-sharing environment. The hardware organization, its implications, and software supporting the efficient utilization of the multiprocessor are discussed.
