Parallel processing is becoming widely accepted as a key technology in the development of extremely high performance computing systems. Although a wide variety of parallel processor architectures have been proposed over the last five to ten years, to date there is very little quantitative analysis comparing the various alternatives. The proposed architectures essentially fall into two broad categories: message-passing architectures and shared-memory architectures. In this paper we will briefly review the key characteristics of message-passing and shared-memory architectures. We then propose an approach to obtaining a quantitative comparison of these architectures and suggest areas for research.
