Goals of a Parallel Architecture

• High Performance:
  • Performance > fastest uniprocessors
    

• Competitive cost-performance:
  • Cost-performance is competitive with workstations
    

• Scalable performance and cost-performance
  
• General-purpose: cost-effective for a wide range of applications
