	Some time back I too faced the same problem when I had to do a
presentation on the HEP Architecture.I used the first two references
mentioned above and two more which I have listed below.

References:
1.Smith, B.J.,"A Pipelined Shared Resource MIMD Computer", Proc. ot the 1978
  ICPP, pp 6-8.
2.Smith, B.J.,"Architecture and Applications of the HEP Multiprocessor Computer
  System", SPIE Vol.298 Real-Time Signal Processing IV (1981), pp 241-248.

These two articles do not give the information of the HEP in detail but the 
second reference is the best infomation I could get on the HEP.

More detailed information can be available from the National Labs. or The 
Univ. of Colorado at Denver.As far as I know these places had access to an HEP
and must be knowing more about it.

If any one would like to discuss the HEP, I know there isn't much to talk, you
could send me mail.
