Abstract

In this paper the MEMSY experimental multiprocessor system is described. This system was built to validate the MEMSY architecture — a scalable multiprocessor architecture based on locally shared-memory and other communication media. It also serves as a study of different kinds of application programs which solve a variety of real problems encountered in scientific research.
