The development of parallel processing, with the attendant
technology of advanced software engineering, VLSI circuits, and
artificial intelligence, now allows high-performance computer
systems to reach the speeds necessary to meet the challenge of
future complex scientific and commercial applications. This
collection of articles documents the design of one such computer, a
single instruction multiple data stream (SIMD) class supercomputer
with 16,834 processing units capable of over 6 billion 8 bit
operations per second. It provides a complete description of the
Massively Parallel Processor (MPP), including discussions of
hardware and software with special emphasis on applications,
algorithms, and programming. This system with its massively
parallel hardware and advanced software is on the cutting edge of
parallel processing research, making possible AI, database, and
image processing applications that were once thought to be
inconceivable. The massively parallel processor represents the
first step toward the large-scale parallelism needed in the
computers of tomorrow. Orginally built for a variety of
image-processing tasks, it is fully programmable and applicable to
any problem with sizeable data demands. Contents "History of the
