This is a reposting. My apologies if you have seen this before, but it
never made it back to our site from the moderator the first time.

We are looking for a shared memory multiprocessor for student use in a
parallel processing course. In this setting performance is not very
important but cost is. There are many low cost hypercube addin boards
in this category for the non shared memory case. There are boards for
PCs, Macs, and Suns. In the shared memory case I have seen nothing but
standalone production oriented systems (Encore, Sequent, etc), which
inevitably means paying more for peripherals and cabinets than the
multiprocessor.

Does anyone know of some hardware I have overlooked?
