abstract

  • Parallel processing and parallel architectures have become a promising solution to the ever-increasing demands for computational power. This paper describes an approach which uses 'self-sufficient' building blocks with limited communication power to build efficient large-scale parallel systems. The architecture, called CONNECT, provides a medium granularity parallel processing environment with the following properties: the parallelism is fairly high, the interprocessor communication pattern is random with both small messages and large data sets being sent between processors, and a substantial amount of computation is done by individual processors. © 1992.
