		The Meiko Computing Surface is a distributed-memory massively parallel supercomputer with a variety of individual processors inside.
		Meiko Scientific was founded by members of the design team working on the INMOS Transputer.
		The original Computing Surface (later known as the CS-1) used numbers of Transputer T414's connected together using their internal communications links, running a Unix-like OS known as MeikOS.

		Parallel computing is the simultaneous execution of the same task (split up and specially adapted) on multiple processors in order to obtain faster results.
		It should not be imagined that successful parallel computing is a matter of obtaining the required hardware and connecting it suitably.
		Similar boosted efficiency claims are sometimes aired for the use of a cluster of cheap computers as a replacement of a large multiprocessor, but again the actual results depend much on the problem at hand and the ability to partition the problem in a way that is conductive to clustering.

	Meiko Scientific - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meiko Scientific was a supercomputer company founded by members of the design team working on the INMOS Transputer.
		When management suggested the release of the Transputer be delayed, Miles Chesney and David Alden resigned and started work, along with four other colleagues, on massively-parallel machines based on the CPU.
		Nine weeks later they demonstrated a Transputer system at the SIGGRAPH in San Francisco in July 1985, which was released in 1986 as the Meiko Computing Surface.

		The second category (the Computational Chemistry Kernels, section 3) includes four chemistry `kernels', each comprising less than a 1000 lines of FORTRAN code, and intended to be representative of the typical calculations undertaken in the area of computational chemistry.
		Computational Chemistry Kernels One of the crucial requirements in evaluating the increasingly broad range of hardware platforms, whether these be parallel machines (true MIMD message-passing machines, workstation clusters, shared-memory multiprocessors etc), or simply the lastest workstation, is the availability of portable benchmarking codes that are representative of the application area under consideration.

	The Meiko Computing Surface 2.
		Because the communication happens through multi-level crossbars, called "layers" by Meiko, the aggregate bandwidth of the system scales with the number of PEs, with a very respectable latency of 200 ns per layer.
		In the USA the machine will be marketed by Meiko.
		Although the new marketing policy has not been made clear, it may assumed that Alenia will market the system in Europe and the rest of the world.

	Advanced parallel array processor(APAP) - Patent 5590345
		Each node provides multiple parallel microcomputer capability at the chip level, the microprocesor or personal computer level, at a workstation level, at special application levels which may be represented by a vision and/or avionics level, and, when fully extended, to capability at greater levels with powerful Gigaflop performance into the supercomputer range.
		These particular sizes have been selected as examples because the small unit is suitable to microprocessors (accelerators), personal computers, workstation and military applications (using of coarse different packaging techniques), while the larger unit is illustrative of a mainframe application as a module or complete supercomputer system.
		The device is unique in that it allocates surface area for 120K cells of application logic on the chip, supported by the capability of triple level metal wiring.
