Abstract

A description is given of the Fujitsu VP2000 series, a new-generation supercomputer supporting full compatibility with previous VP and VP-E series, and with much higher performance. The VP2000 series has a performance range of between 0.5 and 4 GFLOPS. It features a dual scalar processor architecture, expanded main storage, system storage, and connectivity to UNIX environments. The series offers a wide range of vector performance, with the most powerful model being eight times faster than the entry-level model. Whereas Model 10 has a uniprocessor architecture, Model 20 is a dual scalar processor system in which two scalar units can share one vector unit. The VP2000 series has a total of eight models that are field upgradable. The new features in architecture, LSI technology, and software are discussed.<>
