Review text

This tutorial paper compares shared and global memory MIMD-computers. The butterfly, the hypercube and the transputer are briefly described. Programming models for these machines are discussed and software issues concerning synchronization and communication are addressed. A short description of several operating systems for MIMD-machines follows.
