MUSIC is a massive parallel computer that can be ranked with the fastest, most compact and cheapest of the world. MUSIC is the abbreviation for MUltiprocessor System with Intelligent Communication.
Through the joint connection with several processors with an especially for the computer developed communicationcontroller it is possible to achieve processor performance that were unthought until now
The system is barley larger than a PC an up to 6 x faster than a traditional supercomputer. It is about 1000 x less power consuming and about 100 x cheaper.
The modular construction allows the appliance of MUSIC as part of an entire system. There is room for 21 cards in a 19 inch standard rack. With the at the time available 3.8 GFlops processing performance, utmost complex and demanding systems can be real-time controlled. Like for example, Telecom equipement, Video/Audio-System, simulators or applications in the medical technic.
