Abstract

MIMD multiprocessor architectures have been classified as shared memory, message passing, or "hybrid" architectures. This taxonomy is shown to be incomplete, and an alternative complete taxonomy is suggested. Examples of each class of the taxonomy are discussed, along with general attributes of the classes.
