Abstract

As part of a research effort in parallel processor architecture and programming, the Ultracomputer group at New York University has done extensive simulation of parallel programs. To speed up these simulations, we have developed a parallel processor emulator, using the microprogrammable PUMA Computer System previously designed and built at NYU.
