Kendall Square Research Introduction to the KSR1

The KSR1 is Kendall Square Research’s first family of highly parallel computer systems. Systems are expandable to thousands of processors and are programmed as shared memory machines. The shared memory programming model enables a standard software environment (UNIX, C, FORTRAN, ORACLE) and third-party applications. The appearance of shared memory is achieved through a new technique called ALLCACHE™ memory.
