High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The C.mmp was an early MIMD multiprocessor system developed at Carnegie Mellon University by William Wulf. Sixteen PDP-11 minicomputers were used as the processing elements. Each CM had a local memory of 8K and a local disk subsystem. Each of the Compute Modules shared these communication pathways: An Interprocessor bus - used for distribution of system-wide clock, interrupt and process control messaging among the CMs. A 16x16 crossbar switch - used to connect the 16 CMs on one side and 16 banks of shared memory on the other. Since the PDP-11 only had an address space of 16-bits, an additional address translation unit was added to expand the address space to 25 bits for the shared memory space. The operating system was called HYDRA. It was an capability-based object-oriented operating system, and was operated from a PDP-10 multi-user system. System resources were represented as objects and protected through capabilities.
