Programming a highly parallel computer

Nature volume 326, pages 27–30 (1987)Cite this article

Parallel computers potentially offer rates of computation far above those of conventional machines but using them efficiently requires understanding of their capabilities and limitations. Algorithms that simulate the N-body problem on an existing parallel computer with 65,536 processors provide an illustration
