Abstract of CPS615 Architecture Discussion
We describe the simple nature of parallel machines like the nCUBE2
Technologies include conventional, superconducting and Quantum systems but the former dominates
Sequential architectures are dominated by memory (cache) issues
Vector, SIMD MIMD are classic architectures
There is a growing interest in distributed metacomputers
Special purpose machines are typically not so successful
The details of networks is not as important as it used to be!
