Section 4½ Multiple-Processor Systems 349


high data integrity. Part 2, Sec. 5, discusses the ARPANET, ALOHANET, and ETHERNET. Part 3, Sec. 4, presents the CDC 6600 and TI ASG, which utilize high-speed hardware to implement several virtual peripheral processes that can communicate through shared memory. Part 2, Sec. 3, contains Iliac IV and STARAN, so-called single.-instruction-multiple-data-stream machines (SIMD), wherein multiple processors execute the same program on different data in lockstep. Part 4, Sec. 5, discusses the multiprocessor systems produced for the IBM System/360 and System/370 families.
