    I have been searching for information on the following subjects
and I am not having much luck finding pertinent info. I would
appreciate any references that you in net-land feel might be
interesting and/or educational reading. Both academic research and
"real" world application information will be greatly appreciated.
Please respond by e-mail. 

    1) Parallel (not distributed) processor interconnection schemes.
    2) Parallel processor shared memory interconnection schemes
    3) Cache memory methods, techniques, trade-offs, etc.
    4) Parallel concurrent programming methods, techniques, etc.
    5) Anything dealing with parallel concurrent processing.


                               Thanks in advance,
                               Hal Porter

Suggest you contact salesfolks from Tandem (Loosely coupled
parallel systems since mid 70's), Stratus (Hardware parallelism),
and Tolerant (like Tandem). They all have quite interesting
systems, real world experience, and quite extensive analysis
went into their designs.
