%N 6
%D June 1985
%P 29-40
%X Scalable parallel architectures will require new algorithms and
more expressive programming languages before they can harness the
efforts of hundreds, or even thousands of microprocessors
%K parallel processing parallelism fault tolerant reliable systems

%P 43-56
%X Recent recognition of the need to increase the nation's scientific
computational capabilities is spurring a wide variety of research into
parallel processing and its role in tomorrow's supercomputers

%X Multiprocessing solutions to complex science and engineering
problems require an effective representation of the problem and an
efficient search. Functional requirements for search algorithms must
open up a variety of architectures for any problem
