Abstract :
This paper describes the CM-2X prototype. This one-of-a-kind machine is the result of a Supercomputing Research Center/Thinking Machines Corporation joint effort to examine the suitability of a hybrid combination of CM-2 architecture and Xilinx programmable gate array technology. In addition to a description of the CM-2X and Xilinx architecture, a simple applications example is provided that illustrates many of the issues involved in programming the machine
