[comp.realtime] recommendations for practical parallel systems?

dove@uunet.UU.NET (Webster &) (10/02/90)

I want to collect a list of vendors (or academic distributers) of
hardware/software for high performance parallel systems in the $20k to
$1m range.  The ones I have so far are:

FPS (sparc/i860/?)
Hyperflo (TMS320C30)
Intel (Touchstone)
Intel (IWarp)
Inmos (Transputer)
Isis (workstations)
Meiko (Transputer)
Mercury (i860)
Solbourne (Sparc)
Torque (Linda)

Encore Computer Corporation supplies very high performance parallel
systems supporting up to 20 processors currently.  Both NS32532 and
M88100 are supported. 

The Multimax supports 20 NS32532 processors running UMAX V os.  In
addition, Mach is available to research institutions and OSF is
using the Multimax as the reference platform for OSF/1.  They are
also using our Mach kernel as the basis for the OSF/1 kernel

The Encore 91 supports 2 or 4 M88100 CPUs and run UMAX V for
development along with the MicroMPX co-resident real-time OS.
Micro-MPX is descended from Encore (Gould/Sel) MPX-32 real-time OS.
It features a fully multithreaded kernal and excellent real-time
response.  The 91 performs real-time I/O through VME controllers.

For more detailed information Email me or call 305-587-2900.

	Silicon Graphics Power Series computers have from one to eight
processors and run a fully symetric Unix SVR3 with BSD additions.
Automatically parallelizing FORTRAN and C compilers are available.  The
cpu's are MIPS R3000 at either 25 or 33MHz.

How about:
- Myrias (68040)
- Encore (88k)
- Access Memories Technology ( ? )
- Thining Machines ( ? )
