Abstract :
The author describes concurrent-processing computers capable of performance in the gigaflop (billions of floating-point operators) range on real scientific and engineering applications, which have ben developed as part of Esprit project 805. The architecture is readily scalable up to over a thousand processors and provides genuinely cost-effective computing on a worthwhile range of problems. Real-time applications are also supported, using optional high-bandwidth input-output facilities
