Abstract :
The Princeton University PRAM computer network provides process to process data transmission rates equivalent to memory access rates with negligible latency penalties and currently costs less than $1000.00 per gigabit/sec. of network bandwidth. The PRAM network architecture described scales to very large computer networks using fast optical technology. The cost of such a PRAM network implementation is expected, in the near term, to fall to $100.00 per gigabit/sec. of network bandwidth
