A distributed main memory parallel processor is free from the memory throughput bottleneck which prevents the implementation of shared memory parallel processors with the necessary speed. In the light of regular characteristics of CFD codes, a distributed memory parallel processor is likely to deliver the above-mentioned processing speed. Its characteristics include a physically distributed main memory which logically provides programmers with global and local memory views, processing elements with high speed RISC scalar units and high speed vector units with large capacity vector registers, and a crossbar network which interconnects a large number of processing elements. Such a processor can be suitably called the "Numerical Wind Tunnel". This paper describes the basic main memory structure, system configuration, processing element, and interconnection network and communication mechanism of the Numerical Wind Tunnel., 資料番号: NALSP0016016, レポート番号: NAL SP-16}, title = {数値風洞のハードウェア}, year = {1991} }
