[comp.parallel] need info on DEC/IBM

gvw@castle.ed.ac.uk (Greg Wilson) (09/12/90)

As part of a survey report on the current state of parallel processing,
I am trying to find out about DEC and IBM products.  Can someone please
tell me what these companies have which:

1. Is on the market (or will be brought to market in the near future), and

2. Contains multiple processors which are visible to the user (four VAX
   processors invisibly sharing a run queue is interesting, but only
   marginally).

Thanks,

Greg

p.s.  --- those of you who have already given us so much assistance will
be pleased to know that the first draft of the report (on manufacturers
who make nothing but parallel machines) will be heading off to the
publisher's on Friday.  I will post again once I know when/how it will
be appearing.
