Excerpt from An Overview of the Nyu Ultracomputer Project
The nyu Ultracomputer is a shared memory MIMD parallel computer design to contain thousands of processors connected by an Omega network to a like number of memory modules. A new coordination primitive fetch-and-add is defined and the network is enhanced to combine simultaneous requests, including fetch-and adds, directed at the same memory location. The present report, an edited amal gam of papers I have coauthored with other members of the Ultracomputer project, discusses our work on architecture, programming models, system software, hardware and vlsi design, performance analysis, and simulation studies.
