| 内容記述 | It is often said that the 1980s are becoming the decade of multiinstruction stream or MIMD computers, while the 1970s could be described as the decade of the SIMD (single instruction stream multiple data stream) computers. The availability of microprocessors and VLSI facilities has led to the proposal and construction of novel computer architectures based on linking many hundreds or even thousands of microprocessors, or specially designed VLSI chips. Some of the larger manufacturers offer computers with a small number of CPUs. Because of the variety of the new developments, it was decided to conduct a survey of proposed and existing MIMD computers in the U.S., taking into account a simple classification of the different devices. Particular attention is given to computers which are designed for numerical work with floating-point numbers and the solution of large problems in physics, chemistry, and engineering. |
