The VPP500 system

The VPP500 system is distributed-memory vector parallel multiprocessor. It consists of processing elements (PEs) that perform arithmetic operations, control processors (CPs) that perform system control, and a crossbar network that links these together. The VPP500 system links up to 222 PEs. Each PE can perform high-speed vector operations at 1.6 GFlops of theoretical peak performance. The system peak performance is 355.2 GFlops.
The point-to-point communication bandwith is up to 800 MB/s.
The system main memory capacity is 1 - 222 GB.
