Abstract
The scalability of distributed-memory parallel computers makes them attractive candidates for solving large-scale problems. Fujitsu developed two kinds of distributed-memory parallel computers: VPP500 and AP1000. The VPP500, Fujitsu’s successor to previously developed uniprocessor vector-pipeline supercomputers [1], uses a vector supercomputer for each node [2]. The AP1000 uses a SPARC processor for each node [3].
