Abstract :
The Connection Machine 2 (CM-2) is a massively parallel, single-instruction-multiple-data machine with potential for computation rates in the range of several billions of floating point operations per second. A two-dimensional shallow-water equations model was run on a CM-2 to obtain an estimate of its performance on atmospheric and ocean sciences problems. C* and *Lisp versions were developed. The performance of these codes on the CM-2 is compared with the performance of a Fortran version run on a Cray X-MP/48
