MMPS—A reconfigurable multi-microprocessor simulator system

Abstract

The computing industry is currently undergoing a quiet revolution. Along with the recent advances in LSI design and production, a new trend in computation is forming. Many corporations are realizing that an important part of the future of computers lies in distributed data processing. The emphasis here is not on distributed data, for this field has been extensively (though certainly not completely) researched by computer scientists, but on distributed processing.
