ABSTRACT
Experience with the first generation iPSC system indicated that several programmer productivity issues needed to be addressed. This paper describes major features of the iPSC/2 environment which were intended to address some of those issues, The features include:
extending the programming model across the network.
the ability to support multiple users simultaneously executing on independent partitions of the iPSC/2.
direct file access from the iPSC/2 nodes to the host file system.
Concurrent Workbench tools accessible from certain workstations, such as the Sun*/3.

ACM-SE 30: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conferenceWhen determining the granularity of a program to be executed in parallel, it is important to have valid information on the cost of communication for the system on which the program is to be run. Previous studies have measured the node-to-node ...
