Foil 4 Other Suggested Point Designs

From Summary of Working Groups at PAWS and PetaSoft Meetings PAWS(Mandalay Beach) and PetSoft(Bodega Bay) -- April 23 and June 17-19,96. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Superconducting distributed memory
  • A conventional distributed memory design where each node consists of a superconducting CPU, superconducting memory and conventional DRAM memory.
2 Distributed shared memory
  • How far can the emerging distributed shared memory concept can be extended? Can a Pflop/s system be constructed from one or a number of DSM systems?
3 A more aggressive PIM design
  • Essentially a general purpose Grape where we use half the silicon for as many "optimal" (250,000 transistor according to Kogge) CPU's that we can
