Abstract
The authors show that the KSR 1 delivers both high performance and ease of use. KSR 1 performance results on standard benchmark suites, including the NAS parallel benchmarks, are presented and compared with those of other computers to demonstrate its high delivered performance. It is then shown, through a simple example, how the KSR 1´s ALLCACHE memory architecture allows an incremental approach to parallel programming which makes it easy to use. This incremental approach is demonstrated using a real technical application in the field of computational chemistry.<>
