Abstract

Numerous new RISC processors provide support for supercomputing. By using the “mini-Cray” i860 superscalar processor, an add-on board has been developed to boost the performance of a real time system. A parallel heterogeneous multiprocessor supercomputing system, TSP, is constructed. In this paper, we present the system design consideration and described the architecture of the TSP and its features.
