- Scalable Parallel Processors (SPP):
- Multicomputers
with relatively small numbers of processors, 2 -- 64, generally
interconnected by switched networks. SPPs are often compatible with
workstations, and may be composed of networked workstations.
- Highly Parallel Processors (HPP):
- Multicomputers with 64 -- 1024 processors.
- Massively Parallel Processors (MPP):
- Multicomputers with greater than 1024 processors.
