"The ES-1 Supercomputer"
The recently announced ES-1 Supercomputer from Evans and Sutherland will be
described. It utilizes the latest VLSI-CMOS technology and a moderately
parallel architecture to deliver high general-purpose supercomputer
performance. The technology provides extremely fast scalar speeds and
performs numerous functions in parallel, thus allowing existing non-
vectorizable software to perform at supercomputer speeds.
Important features include:
- Two to eight processor clusters of 16 computational units each
- Memory sizes from 256MB to 2GB globally shared
- Maximum execution rates from 320 MFLOPS to 1280 MFLOPS
