Overview

The Multiplus project aims at the development of a modular distributed shared memory parallel architecture able to support up to 1024 processing elements based on the SPARC microprocessors and at the implementation of Mulplix, a Unix-like operating system which provides a suitable parallel programming environment for the Multiplus architecture.

The Multiplus project has been under development at NCE/UFRJ for some years now and has provided a nice and challenging framework for research work in several areas related to the world of High-Performance Computing: Parallel Architectures, Operating Systems, IC Design, CAD Tools for IC Design and Parallel Algorithms.
