I am currently taking an "Advanced Computer Architecture"
course, and am doing a project on the Denelcor HEP (Heterogenous
Element Processor) machine.
However, I am having problems finding references.
I would appreciate suggestions as to where I can find any
material relating to the HEP, specifically, for the following:
1) Architectural Description
2) Pros and Cons of this architecture
3) Specific Applications
4) Reasons behind WHY they (Denelcor) chose this architecture.
The material that I DO have, includes the following :
a) Parallel MIMD Computations: HEP Supercomputer and Its
Applications
(note that is book is a collection of papers, and is
concerned more with parallel algorithms, as they
affect the HEP, than it is with describing the
machine itself)
b) Computer Architecture & Parallel Processing, by
Hwang & Briggs, pages 669 to 684.
(this gives a fair introduction to the HEP)
However, there are a few references that I am having trouble
locating :
i) Proceedings of the Workshop of Parallel Processing Using
the Heterogenous Element Processor, March 20-21, 1985.
ii) Heterogeneous Element Processor Principles of Operation,
Publication #9000001, Denelcor, Inc. 1981
Note that I did consider writing to Denelcor directly, but
I understand that they have gone out of business, so it would be
quite difficult to contact them.
Any suggestions as to where I could find the references, or
any other information would be appreciated. Please e-mail to the
following address :

(If there is an interest for this information, I will then post
the references to the net...)
