A central problem preventing the wide application of distributed memory multicomputers
has been their high price, especially for small installations. High prices are due to long
design times, support for scaling to thousands of nodes, and high production costs. This... (Update)

...operating systems running on parallel hardware. An example is Talisman [7] Talisman performs a detailed simulation of the Meerkat [6] memory system, doing a function call on each memory access. This scheme slows down the simulation, but permits accurate timing. A speedier...
...allow only one module to transmit at a time, and bus length limits how fast the bus can cycle. Chapter 2 of Robert Bedichek s thesis [Bed94] has a good discussion of the trade offs in designing high performance busses. Some high performance busses used in multiprocessors...
