Abstract
This paper presents a taxonomy, or naming scheme, for systems of interconnected computers. It is an attempt to provide an implementation-independent method by which to identify demgns, and a common context in which to discuss them. The taxonomy is based on interprocessor message handling and hardware interconnection topology, and distinguishes ten basic multiple-computer architectures. Various relevant attributes are identified and discussed, and examples of actual designs are given for each architecture.Keywords
