Research in Parallel Computing: 1987-1990

Abstract

This report chronicles an integrated research program conducted at Carnegie Mellon's Computer Science Department during the contract period 1987 to 1990. This research produced the iWarp System, a homogeneous multiprocessor that provides both high-speed computation and communication; a high-performance, fiberoptic interface board and a crossbar switch for high-speed, heterogeneous computing; a parallel operating system as well as software for analyzing and debugging its performance; and an environment for building. Parallel, Distributed, Vision-processing programs
