Abstract
This paper presents the design and breadboard implementation of an experimental multiprocessor (mP) whose objectives were 1) to provide modularity of performance over the range of 0.2 million instructions/s (mips) to about 3 mips and 2) to optimize cost-performance over this selected range by exploiting the high technology of microprocessors and RAM´s.
