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.
