Architectures for supersystems of the '80s

Published: 19 May 1980 Publication History

Abstract

Several areas of science and technology offer a number of problems which solutions require an enormous computational power. For instance, partial differential equations in computational aerodynamics, real-time radar signal processing, control of fast and complex nuclear or chemical reactions, accurate weather prediction, etc., necessitate throughputs which are several orders of magnitude higher than those of existing complex parallel systems.
