✦ Synopsis

The CP-PACS computer is a massively parallel computer consisting of 2048 processing units and having a peak speed of 614 GFLOPS and 128 GByte of main memory. It was developed over the four years from 1992 to 1996 at the Center for Computational Physics, University of Tsukuba, for large-scale numerical simulations in computational physics, especially those of lattice QCD. The CP-PACS computer has been in full operation for physics computations since October 1996. In this article we describe the chronology of the development, the hardware and software characteristics of the computer, and its performance for lattice QCD simulations.
