Pringle: A Parallel Processor to Emulate CHiP (Configurable Highly Parallel) Computers.

Abstract

The Pringle is a 64 processor parallel computer designed to serve as a laboratory instrument for studying Configurable, Highly Parallel (CHiP) Computers. The Pringle's design objectives, architecture and physical characteristics are presented. A key component of the Pringle is a Switch that permits it to emulate CHiP architectures with a variety of corridors widths. (Author)
