Abstract

Transputer (T800) and 64-bit RISC Intel 80860 (i860) added on a personal computer can be used as an accelerator. When 32-bit T800s in a parallel system or 64-bit i860s are used, scientific calculations are carried out several ten times as fast as in the case of commonly used 32-bit personal computers or UNIX workstations. Benchmark tests and examples of physical simulations using T800s and i860 are reported.
