Popis: The K2 project started in 1988 with the goal of designing and implementing a distributed memory parallel processor with an architecture efficiently supporting a time-sharing, multi-user, multi-tasking operating system and an automatically parallelizing Fortran compiler. This paper introduces the architecture of the machine, its hardware implementation, performance measurements of the communication channels, the compiler, and a brief outline of the operating system.
