Abstract

The Titan was intended to be a personal visualization tool, i.e. a machine that would allow an engineer or scientist to model a physical entity and then visualize the results of the model. This was achieved by the use of several technologies, namely, dense CMOS gate arrays, a commercial RISC IPU (reduced-instruction-set computer instruction processing unit), and pipelinable floating-point units, and known effective architecture features. The opportunities and costs of these technologies and the architectural decisions that resulted in the successful development of Titan are discussed.<>
泰坦图形超级计算机的设计
泰坦是一个个人可视化工具,即一台机器,可以让工程师或科学家对物理实体进行建模,然后将模型的结果可视化。这是通过使用几种技术实现的,即密集的CMOS门阵列,商业RISC IPU(精简指令集计算机指令处理单元),可管道浮点单元,以及已知的有效架构特征。讨论了这些技术的机会和成本,以及导致Titan成功开发的架构决策。
