Abstract

The nCUBE 2’s hardware architecture represents a unique synthesis of features, each designed to increase the computer’s performance and reliability. The architecture centers on a hypercube data network of fully custom VLSI 64-bit processors, each with independent memory. This network is an extremely modular, scalable system, that allows multiple users to perform distributed computing. The hypercube design accomodates a wide variety of applications, from scientific modeling programs to relational databases. The inexpensive but powerful processors give the nCUBE 2 its unmatched speed and price/performance ratio.
