Abstract

The Connection Machine 2 (CM-2) made by Thinking Machines Corporation is a massively parallel, single instruction multiple data machine with potential for computational rates in the range of several billions of floating point operations per second. A two-dimensional shallow water equations model was run on a CM-2 to obtain an estimate of its performance on atmospheric and ocean sciences problems. C* and *LISP versions were developed and the performance of these codes on the CM-2 is compared with the performance of a FORTRAN version run on a Cray X-MP/48.
