Abstract
Description of certain aspects of software support for CHoPP (Columbia Homogeneous Parallel Processor), a large scale MIMD machine which as been under study for almost two years left bracket 1,2,3,4 right bracket . CHoPP is intended to speed up digital computing by use of parallelism; its applications are not restricted to any special class of algorithms, nor limited to numerical analysis, or to non-numeric computation. The goal of speed up is common to most proposals for parallel computers. However the idea of a single machine capable of achieving such speed up for practically all of the mainstream algorithms of digtal computing is not usually to be found in previous and contemporaneous proposals and implementations. CHoPP's approach consists of supporting vast amounts of parallelism at much lower levels of hardware and software than has heretofore been attempted in MIMD machines.
