- MasPar - Supercomputing With a SIMD Architecture
-
- The high performance computing world is becoming increasingly focused
- on MIMD based machines; MasPar believes that the "MIMD hysteria" has
- clouded the real problem, delivering application performance. Their VP of
- Technology and Architecture, Tom Blank, will discuss the applications
- which best utilize the MasPar autonomous SIMD architecture. Tom is
- uniquely qualified to do this; it is our understanding that he was the prime
- developer of the architecture. Too, this will be the first public presentation
- of their new I/O system which provides solid state disk, I/O buffering and a
- shared extended memory with transfer rates up to 1GB/sec. As usual, we
- will explore third party opportunities for our members with MasPar. And
- we will want to know if they are targeting industrial and commercial
- customers for their machine.
-
- The meeting will take place at 7:30PM at Sun Microsystems at 901 East San
- Antonio Road in Mountain View, California. This is just off the southbound
- San Antonio exit of 101; northbound travelers also exit at San Antonio and
- take the overpass to the other side of 101.
-
- Please be prompt; as usual, we expect a large attendance; don't be left out or
- left standing. There is a $8 fee for non-members and members are admitted
- free.
