Abstract

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 105 to 106 processors. Issues of interconnection networks, throughput, and memory structure are treated.
