✦ Synopsis

We briefly describe the APE processor, a parallel computer currently used in lattice gauge simulations. We also present in greater details the architecture and the implementation of APE-100, a fine grained SIMD processor for lattice gauge theory simulations, similar in structure to APE and designed to provide floating-point performances in the 100 Gflops range.
