| Abstract | StarT ng is a joint MIT Motorola project to build a high performance message passing machine from commercial systems Each site of the machine consists of a PowerPC based Motorola symmetric multiprocessor SMP running the AIX operating system Every pro cessor is connected to a low latency high bandwidth network that is directly accessible from user level code In addition to fast message passing capabilities the machine has experimental support for cache coherent shared memory across sites When the machine requires memory to be kept globally coherent one processor on each site is devoted to supporting shared memory When globally coherent shared memory is not required that processor can be used for normal computation tasks StarT ng will be delivered at about the time the base SMP is introduced into the marketplace The ability to be both a collection of standard SMP and an aggressive message passing machine with coherent shared memory makes StarT ng a good building block for incrementally expandable parallel machines |
