摘要：

The architecture of the interprocessor communications subsystem in the Meiko CS-2 MPP is discussed. This utilises a 'fat tree' network constructed from high performance crosspoint switches. Processing Elements interface to this network via a communications co-processor which contains intelligence to handle virtual addressing and ensures very low message start up times. Measured performance figures are given for the system running a variety of different programming models.
