I am writing  a survey paper on commercial multiprocessor systems for a mini-
micro conference. I would be greatly obliged if you could provide me with 
any information on any commercial multiprocessor system(s) you are familiar 
with. The information I am looking for includes:

- make
- type , shared memory or message passing
- MIPs
- cost 
- cache coherence techniques, memory size, memory management
- processors ( number used and type )
- topology ( interconnect schemes )
- any special features that you are aware of 
- any other information you think might be of use 

If you have brochures, references to other articles, or any other
pointers/comments, I would like to have them!

I would be glad to share any information that I receive.

Thanks in advance!
