The Connection Machine (CM) is a member of a series of massively parallel supercomputers sold by Thinking Machines Corporation. The idea for the Connection Machine grew out of doctoral …
According to Feynman's calculations, the Connection Machine, even without any special hardware for floating point arithmetic, would outperform a machine that CalTech was building …
The Connection Machine. Parallel processing relies on making connections: coordinating multiple processors for a single task. Our brains do that too. Danny Hillis at MIT based his CM-1 on …
The Connection Machine CM-1 has 65,536 simple 1-bit processors connected into a hypercube and each having 4Kbits of memory. Every processor is connected to a central unit called the …
The Connection Machine Model CM-2 is an integrated system of hardware and software. The hardware elements of the system include front-end computers that provide the devel- opment …
The Connection Machine was a supercomputer designed in 1985 by W. Daniel Hillis [9]. It presented a fundamentally different computer, that can be thought of as “smart memory,” [11]
The Connection Machine is a data- parallel computing system with integrated hardware and software. Figure 1 shows the hardware elements of the system. One to four front-end …
The concept of data-parallel computers is explained, and their architecture of the Connection Machine (CM), which implements this approach, is described. It provides 64 K physical …
The term “Connection Machine” refers to massively parallel supercomputers manufactured by Thinking Machines Corporation. The CM-1 (1985) was a purely SIMD architecture intended for …
