The Goodyear Massively Parallel Processor (MPP) was amassively parallel processing supercomputer built by Goodyear Aerospacefor the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. It was designed to deliver enormous computational power at lower cost than other existing supercomputer architectures, by using thousands of simple processing elements, rather than one or a few highly complex CPUs. Development of the MPP began circa 1979; it was delivered in May 1983, and was in general use from 1985 until 1991.

  • The Goodyear Massively Parallel Processor (MPP) was amassively parallel processing supercomputer built by Goodyear Aerospacefor the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. It was designed to deliver enormous computational power at lower cost than other existing supercomputer architectures, by using thousands of simple processing elements, rather than one or a few highly complex CPUs. Development of the MPP began circa 1979; it was delivered in May 1983, and was in general use from 1985 until 1991. It was based on Goodyear's earlier STARAN array processor, a 4x256 1-bit processing element (PE) computer. The MPP was a 128x128 2-dimensional array of 1-bit wide PEs. In actuality 132x128 PEs were configured with a 4x128 configuration added for fault tolerance to substitute for up to 4 rows (or columns) of processors in the presence of problems. The PEs operated in a single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) fashion—each PE performed the same operation simultaneously, on different data elements, under the control of a microprogrammed control unit. After the MPP was retired in 1991, it was donated to the Smithsonian Institution, and is now in the collection of the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. It was succeeded at Goddard by the MasPar MP-1 and Cray T3D massively parallel computers. (en)
  • Il Goodyear Massively Parallel Processor è un supercomputer di tipo MPP costruito dalla Goodyear Aerospace (la divisione aerospaziale della Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company) per il Goddard Space Flight Center della NASA.Fu progettato per sviluppare un'enorme potenza computazionale ad un costo inferiore rispetto alle esistenti architetture di supercomputer. Ciò avveniva impiegando migliaia di semplici processori al posto di uno o poche complesse CPU.Il suo sviluppo iniziò nel 1979 e fu completato nel maggio del 1983. Fu impiegato dal 1985 al 1991. Il Goodyear MPP era basato sul precedente che era composto da 4x256 processing element (PE) ad 1-bit. L'MPP era invece costituito da una matrice di 128x128 array processor sempre da un bit.I vari processor element (PE) operavano in modalità Single instruction multiple data (SIMD) dove ogni processore effettuava le stesse operazioni simultaneamente su dati diversi sotto il controllo di un'unità di controllo. Nel 1991 l'MPP venne dismesso venendo donato allo Smithsonian Institution ed ora fa parte della collezione del National Air and Space Museum presso lo Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.Presso il Goddard Space Flight Center venne rimpiazzato da un superminicomputer MP-1 e da un Cray T3D. (it)
  • Goodyear Massively Parallel Processor (сокр. MPP) — суперкомпьютер с массово-параллельной архитектурой, созданный американской компанией (англ.) для Центра космических полётов имени Годдарда в НАСА. Разработан для обеспечения огромной вычислительной мощности при меньших затратах, чем другие существующие архитектуры суперкомпьютеров, с использованием тысяч простых элементов обработки, а не одного или нескольких очень сложных процессоров. Разработка велась примерно с 1979 года; запущен в 1983 году, и эксплуатировался в основном с 1985 по 1991 годы. Основан на идеях, использованных ранее в STARAN, компьютере с 1-разрядным процессорным элементом (англ. processing element, PE), работая на принципе SIMD. Впоследствии был передан в дар Смитсоновскому институту и ​​сейчас находится в коллекции (англ.) Национального музея авиации и космонавтики США. В Центре космических полётов имени Годдарда этот суперкомпьютер сменили массово параллельные компьютеры MasPar MP-1 и Cray T3D. (ru)
