Abstract: Alewife is a multiprocessor architecture that supports up to 512 processing nodes connected over a scalable and costeffective mesh network at a constant cost per node. The MIT Alewife Machine, a prototype implementation of the architecture, demonstrates that a parallel system can be both scalable and programmable. Four classes of mechanisms in the machine combine to achieve these goals: software-extended coherent shared memory provides a global, linear address space; integrated message passing... (Update)
