Description

We report on the work done in massively parallel processing with a view to studying possible solutions for extracting interesting high-energy physics particle events at future high-luminosity hadronic colliders operating in the TeV energy domain. We concentrate on a special Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture: the Associative String Processor (ASP). The Massively Parallel Processing Collaboration (MPPC) Project, grouping nine European institutes, was launched by CERN to carry out this RandD programme. This report, written by partners of the MPPC collaboration, describes the main results achieved at the end of the project: construction of ASP machines, parallel software development and application studies in high-energy physics and in other fields of science. A final, positive assessment of the ASP concept has been made by the Collaboration. (orig.)
