Abstract
A specification for a highly parallel computer system is presented. The specification is designed to facilitate acquisition of the highly parallel computer system through the use of a competitive procurement. The system specification is designed to cover all aspects of a production level supercomputer system, including floating point architecture and performance issues; main memory and mass storage capacity and performance; operating system and programming languages software support, and network hardware and software interface and performance requirements. The floating point computational rate is evaluated primarily on the basis of performance achieved on the NAS Parallel Benchmarks.
