ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, system architecture and programming are in accordance with a bulk-synchronous parallel processing model. Data is distributed to memory elements through a hashing function performed in individual hardware modules associated with computational elements. The router operates independently of the computational and memory elements and masks any substantial latency it may have by pipelining. A synchronizer provides for bulk synchronization in supersteps of multiple computational steps. The router bandwidth is balanced with that of the computational elements and the program may be compiled to a number of virtual processors significantly greater than the number of actual processors in the system.
