From Master Foilset for HPC Achitecture Overview CPS615 Introduction to Computational Science -- Fall Semester 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Memory capacity increased by adding modules, I/O by controllers
  • Add processors for processing!
  • For higher-throughput multiprogramming, or parallel programs
Communication is natural extension of uniprocessor
Already have processor, one or more memory modules and I/O controllers connected by hardware interconnect of some sort
