Hello!

   I am taking a graduate class in computer architecture
and we are required to write a term paper. The topic is on comparing
shared-memory multiprocessors with local-memory multiprocessors.

   So far, I have loads of ideas for things to do with local-
memory multiprocessors, but am stumped on the shared-memory
machines. Does anyone out there have ideas for applications
that could get a benifit of running on a shared-memory
multiprocessor?

   Thanks in advance,


   Martin Marshall
