Date: 5 Apr 89 12:00:57 GMT Sender: fpst@hubcap.clemson.edu Approved: parallel@hubcap.clemson.edu I am going to teach a graduate-level course on parallel architectures in the Fall. It will be really nice if the students can have access to at least a couple of different parallel architecture simulators Please let me know (by email, I will summarize) how to go about obtaining the simulators for one or more of the following machines: (The simulators should be able to run in an Un*x environment) Intel hypercubes BBN Butterfly The connection machine Sequent Balance/Symmetry(?) etc. etc. Thanks for your time Swami Swami Manohar Email: mcnc!unccvax!swm@mcnc.org Computer Science Department Phone: 704-547-4883 University of North Carolina Charlotte, NC 28223 ------------------------------ Return-Path: <grinstei@hawk.ulowell.edu> for simulation@uflorida.cis.ufl.edu (from grinstei@hawk.ulowell.edu (Georges Grinstein)) Date: Thu, 6 Apr 89 22:45:52 edt From: grinstei@hawk.ulowell.edu (Georges Grinstein) To: simulation@bikini.cis.ufl.edu Subject: CFP: IFIP Conference of Workstations for Experimentation.
