Vector Microprocessors - Asanovic (1998)   (17 citations)  (Correct)

....on some tasks and at much lower costs. Modern microprocessors have superscalar architectures which appear more flexible than the vector model and so many now believe that vector machines are a dying breed, being pushed aside by the astonishingly rapid evolution of these killer micros [Bro89] But the improved cost performance of microprocessor based systems is due primarily to their use of commodity silicon CMOS fabrication technology. What if we implement vector architectures using the same technology In this thesis, I argue that the resulting vector microprocessors may actually ....

If parallel architects have to give in and use off the shelf microprocessors, then it is important to study how best to take advantage of their capabilities. Considerable gains in communication performance can be ....

....by mass markets, they are mostly optimized for use in personal computers and workstations, and offer only limited support for interprocessor communication. Nevertheless, the high development costs of current hardware makes it virtually impossible for custom hardware to compete with killer micros [2], especially given the relatively small size of the market for supercomputing. If parallel architects have to give in and use off the shelf microprocessors, then it is important to study how best to take advantage of their capabilities. Considerable gains in communication performance can be ....

....lies at the heart of these developments. It is the engine of workstations and servers in distributed systems, and it has become the key component of today s massively parallel computers for high performance scientific applications. These are the killer micros foreseen by Eugene Brooks [26]. The economics of computer technology ensures that the processor on a chip will continue to be the cost effective basis for high performance computer design. Soon it will be possible to place several complete processing elements on a single chip having several million transistors. Today the most ....
