Objective
The multiprocessor node will appear to the user as if it were a monoprocessor. It will have a clock speed of a few nanoseconds, and be optimised to have a very high sustained/peak performance ratio. In parallel with this work, the design and simulation of a multinode system along with the corresponding software extensions is being undertaken.
The architecture is proprietary and will support decoupled operations, hardware-assisted loop pipelining and a very large hierarchical memory. Highly optimised compilers will be developed to support these features as well as automatic parallelism (auto-tasking). The operating system (to be developed within the project) is based on a micro-kernel UNIX standard.
Performance demonstrations are planned at a number of advanced European test sites.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
