This book is a collection of articles documenting the design of a single instruction multipole data stream (SIMD) class supercomputer. It provides a description of the Massively Parallel Processor (MPP), and includes discussions of hardware and software with emphasis on applications, algorithms, and programming. Topics covered include: history of the MPP; data structures for implementing the classy algorithm on the MPP; inversion of positive definite matrices on the MPP; LANDSAT-4 thematic mapper data processing with the MPP; fluid dynamics modeling; database management; list based processing on the MPP; the massively parallel processor system overview; array unit; array control unit, staging memory; PE design; programming the MPP; parallel pascal and the MPP; MPP system software, MPP program development and simulation.
