Massive Parallel Processing (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Massive parallel processing (MPP) is a term used in computer architecture to refer to a computer system with many independent arithmetic units or entire microprocessors, that run in parallel. The term massive connotes hundreds if not thousands of such units. Early examples of such a system are the Distributed Array Processor, the Goodyear MPP, the Connection Machine, and the Ultracomputer. Some years ago many of the most powerful supercomputers were MPP systems.
