    Four types of parallel processing are under development: (1) SMP Pentium systems in which multiple processors share a single memory and bus interface within a single computer, (2) a group of machines interconnected by a network to form a parallel-processing cluster, (3) a Linux system as a "host" for a specialized attached parallel processor, and (4) SIMD parallelism within a register, which is facilitated by the MMX (MultiMedia eXtensions).
  • Name: SETI@Home
    Website: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/
    Description: SETI@home is a scientific experiment that harnesses the power of millions of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a free program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.

    Description: SHRIMP (Scalable, High-Performance, Really Inexpensive Multi-Processor) is a parallel machine being designed and built in the Computer Science Department at Princeton University. Shrimp is built from highly-integrated, commodity parts. The computing nodes of SHRIMP are Pentium PCs, and the routing network is the same one used in the Intel Paragon. A network interface card is being designed to connects the PCs to the routing network, and software is also being designed to make SHRIMP a fully usable multicomputer.
