The power and promise of parallel computing |

The use of parallel computing is reaching into both the technical
and the commercial computing environments. The success of IBM in this
broad area is based on the introduction of flexible and
general-purpose families of scalable processors. This essay
highlights the history of one of those families that includes
the IBM scalable POWERparallel™ SP1™ and
SP2™ systems. I also describe how these systems were
rapidly developed and moved to market, and illustrate how some
customers are using them in their businesses.
