Excerpt from The Nyu Ultracomputer A General-Purpose Parallel Processor We present the design for the NYU ultracomputer, a general-purpose MIMD parallel processor composed of thousands of autonomous processing elements. This machine uses an enhanced omega-network to approximate the ideal behavior of Schwartz's paracomputer model of computation and to implement efficiently the important replace-add synchronization primitive. The novelty of the design lies in the enhanced network, in particular in the constituent switches and interfaces. We also present the results of analytic and simulation studies of the network and include a sample of our efforts to implement parallel variants of important scientific codes.
