Anyone interested in a simulator for a scalable shared memory multiprocessor architecture with k^n fully pipelined processors connected to k^n memory modules through a packet switched network ought to fire me off a mail. The simulator is available as a BINARY release and can be accessed via ftp from the internet. Configurations for the Sequent Balance, Alliant FX and SUN 3 are available at the moment. A version for the Sequent Symmetry can be built upon request. On a multiprocessor, the multiprocessor simulator itself is a shared memory parallel program, and is written in the very same programming model used to write code for the simulator. We will entertain only a binary release at the moment, if you do not have one of the machines listed above let us know and we will see if we can do something for you. A complete set of compiler/optimizer/assembler/loader tools for a parallel extension of C programming language is part of the package. Forward me an email if you are interested and I will tell you how to access the package and add your name to the Cerberus mailing list. The current release is a BETA release of the package, but we have been using the system locally for more than a year. All documentation is contained in the release in postscript format, but we can mail copies of the documents via the SNAIL if need be.
