Abstract

The ETA10 is a multi-supercomputer system made up of several super-computers configured around a massive electronic memory. The user can solve substantial problems on a single processor that has a powerful vector unit and high performance scalar capability. Alternatively, the user can apply multiple processors (up to 8) to solve extremely large and taxing problems. The following annotated slides outline the programming characteristics of using the ETA10 in these two modes.
