We are wondering if anyone can provide us with information specific to the
Connection Machine.  We have found that Hillis' book to be lacking in such 
areas as hardware description and network communications.  In particular, 
we are interested in obtaining a description of processing element to router 
communication, host to processing element communication, chip control unit 
to processing element communication, the role of shared memory, a description 
of the buses between chips and between processing elements, and so forth.

Thanks in advance.
