Microsupercomputers: Design and Implementation

Abstract

Project Goals: (1) Investigate fundamental properties of parallel programs and the implications for multiprocessor architectures and parallel programming and compilers; (2) Explore architectural approaches that can be used to build scalable multiprocessors capable of supporting a shared memory programming paradigm; (3) Develop compiler and programming language technology that supports the construction of efficient, machine-independent parallel programs; (4) Investigate architectural approaches that will lead to substantial improvements in uniprocessor performance and that can be incorporated in scalable multiprocessors; (5) Develop Computer Aided Design tools and Very Large Scale Integration technology needed to construct high performance machines.
