Abstract :
We summarize the project at the Computer Science Department at the University of Saarbrucken that aims at building the parallel computer SB-PRAM, a scalable shared memory multi-processor machine based on a modified Fluent Machine. We present the concept of the architecture, highlight some of the design decisions, and describe in some detail the construction of both hardware and software modules
