Abstract :
The Connection Machine CM-5 supports a Unix-compatible, data-parallel, transparent networking architecture to send parallel data over HIPPI, FDDI and Ethernet. CM-5 and serial computer processes can now all communicate simply and efficiently with each other. This interprocess communication system has been proven useful for parallel X Window drawing support and parallel data visualization systems such as AVS
