Can anyone point me to work on classification of parallel architectures?
I find terms like MIMD, SIMD, data parallel, etc, etc, ad nauseum, rather
unsatisfactory.  I vaguely recall Eugene Miya mentioning something about
trying to bring some sort of sense and order into such classfication, but
that was back in 1985 and it could therefore have been someone else.
