Abstract
GF11 is a parallel computer currently nearing completion at the IBM Yorktown Research Center. The machine will have a peak arithmetic rate of 11.4 Gflops and a total memory of 1.14 Gbytes. The computational power and memory are uniformly distributed among 566 floating-point processors which communicate through a switching network. At each machine cycle any of 1024 preselected permutations of data can be realized among the processors. The main intended application of GF11 is a class of calculations arising from quantum chromodynamics. For a detailed discussion of GF11 see:
