A-NET is a parallel object-oriented total architecture for highly parallel computation. Starting with a computation model, this paper describes parallel constructs of the designed language, called A-NETL; the A-NETL oriented machine instruction set architecture; the hardware organization of a node processor, which consists of a 40-bit processing element and a router; and a local operating system on each of the node processors. Statistics for the designed language and the machine are derived from experimental results.
