Abstract
Alternative computer architectures are necessary to replace the traditional
'von Neumann' computer organization in order to obtain large increases in
performance. The traditional 'von Neumann' architecture uses a timer based (e.g.,
the program counter), sequentially programmed, single processor approach to
problem solving. Today's new hardware technology allows for the utilization of
multiple processors. By programming and operating these processors in parallel, this
alternative architecture will provide for greater computing speed, improved system
reliability, enhanced software manageability, and a more cost-effective approach than
our present computing practices.
