Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
The Paragon MP architecture uses message passing between node boards and shared memory among the processors on a node board. Our beta testing program included evaluation of serial number one of KSR's shared-memory multiprocessor, so we have used many of the benchmarks we developed for the KSR in evaluating the Paragon MP. The benchmarks measure memory contention, lock and synchronization performance, and the performance of various application kernels.
Aggregate data rate for multiple KSR processors faulting independent
