ABSTRACT
Erma is a large, special-purpose data-processing system designed by Stanford Research Institute for the Bank of America. The system includes both paper-handling and electronic data-processing functions, and its purpose is the keeping of records for commercial checking accounts. The first model will serve 32,000 active accounts and later will be extended to serve 50,000 active accounts.

Processor coupling: integrating compile time and runtime scheduling for parallelism
Special Issue: Proceedings of the 19th annual international symposium on Computer architecture (ISCA '92)The technology to implement a single-chip node composed of 4 high-performance floating-point ALUs will be available by 1995. This paper presents processor coupling, a mechanism for controlling multiple ALUs to exploit both instruction-level and inter-...
The Superthreaded Processor Architecture
The common single-threaded execution model limits processors to exploiting only the relatively small amount of instruction-level parallelism available in application programs. The superthreaded processor, on the other hand, is a concurrent multithreaded ...
