Performance evaluation of the MP/C
Bruce W. Arden, Ran Ginosar · 1983
The performance of the MP/C, a multiprocessor/multicomputer architecture, is evaluated by means of deterministic and probabilistic techniques and simulations. The MP/C is examined in two different applications, as a tree machine and as a multiprogramming general-purpose system. The second application of the MP/C is compared with a star architecture. The evaluation suggests that the MP/C is very effective for certain special applications, such as tree algorithms, and worst-case analysis shows that its performance is acceptable even for general purpose computations.
