註釋Offers an approach to understanding the principles of parallel computing, derived from the authors' experience in building the Texas Reconfigurable Array Computer (TRAC). Provides the principles for the analysis and comparison of parallel computers. Stresses two main ideas: an extension of the time-space product for measuring performance of a system and a graph-theoretical definition of interconnection networks. Presents these two ideas as the theoretical basis for comparing parallel computers and then applies them to TRAC and other parallel computers to illustrate the machines' utility. Analyzes the design of parallel computers by evaluating the essence of their architecture.
