a large scale, homogeneous, fully distributed parallel machine, i
The preliminary hardware description of CHOPP (Columbia Homogeneous Parallel Processor), a MIMD machine supporting a fully distributed host-less operating system is presented. The architecture is intended to permit implementation of machines with 10 5 to 10 6 processors. Issues of interconnection networks, throughput, and memory structure are treated.
