ABSTRACT
In this paper, we give an overview of the Cedar multiprocessor and present recent performance results. These include the performance of some computational kernels and the Perfect Benchmarks. We also present a methodology for judging parallel system performance and apply this methodology to Cedar, Cray YMP-8, and Thinking Machines CM-5.

The cedar system and an initial performance study
Special Issue: Proceedings of the 20th annual international symposium on Computer architecture (ISCA '93)In this paper, we give an overview of the Cedar multiprocessor and present recent performance results. These include the performance of some computational kernels and the Perfect Benchmarks. We also present a methodology for judging parallel system ...
Initial Performance Evaluation of the Cray SeaStar Interconnect
HOTI '05: Proceedings of the 13th Symposium on High Performance InterconnectsThe Cray SeaStar is a new network interface and router for the Cray Red Storm and XT3 supercomputer. The SeaStar was designed specifically to meet the performance and reliability needs of a large-scale, distributed-memory scientific computing platform. ...
Comparing the Performance of the DASH and Cedar Multiprocessors for Scientific Applications
ICPP '94: Proceedings of the 1994 International Conference on Parallel Processing - Volume 02Scalable shared-memory multiprocessors are attractive because they achieve large-scale parallel processing without surrendering much programmability. Several such machines have been built or are currently being built, for instance RP3, Cedar, KSR1, DASH,...
