Book Description
This book was written for an applications programmer who would like a tutorial description of the ILLIAC IV System before attempting to read the reference manual. Chapter I presents the background concepts necessary for an understanding of ILLIAC IV. Chapter II describes the architecture or the hardware structure of ILLIAC IV. Chapter III presents the Assembly Language ASK in a functional and pragmatic way: a problem is described and then only those ASK instructions necessary for the solution are described. In this way the five problems introduce forty ASK instructions and the flavor of the assembly language which, from a programmer's standpoint, is an indication of the capabilities of ILLIAC IV itself. The five problems are: Summing an array of numbers, Finding the maximum value in an array of numbers, Matrix multiplication, Matrix transpose, and Laplace's equation described in Chapter II.

The Illiac IV
Author: R.M. Hord
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662103451
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
The Illiac IV was the first large scale array computer. As the fore runner of today's advanced computers, it brought whole classes of scientific computations into the realm of practicality. Conceived initially as a grand experiment in computer science, the revolutionary architecture incorporated both a high level of parallelism and pipe lining. After a difficult gestation, the Illiac IV became operational in November 1975. It has for a decade been a substantial driving force behind the develooment of computer technology. Today the Illiac IV continues to service large-scale scientific aoolication areas includ ing computational fluid dynamics, seismic stress wave propagation model ing, climate simulation, digital image processing, astrophysics, numerical analysis, spectroscopy and other diverse areas. This volume brings together previously published material, adapted in an effort to provide the reader with a perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of the Illiac IV and the impact this unique computa tional resource has had on the development of technology. The history and current status of the Illiac system, the design and architecture of the hardware, the programming languages, and a considerable sampling of applications are all covered at some length. A final section is devoted to commentary.
