The development o f T era's MTA system was unusual. It respected the need for fast hardware and large shared memory , facilitating execution of the most demanding parallel application programs. But at the same time, it met the need for a clean mac hine model enabling calculated compiler optimizations and easy programming and the need for no vel architectural features necessary to support fast parallel system software. From its inception, system and application needs have molded the MTA architecture. The result is a system that o ers high performance and ease of programming b y virtue not only of fast physical hardware and at shared memory , but also of the streamlined software systems that well utilize the features of the architecture intended to support them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
