What does Asura software do?

Answer

Hi all,

The ASURA software is a Distributed shared memory multiprocessor.

It is a large scale, cluster-based, distributed, shared memory, multiprocesor being developed at Kyoto university and Kuboto corporation. Up to 128 clusters are interconnected to form an ASURA system of up to 1024 processors. The basic concept of the ASURA design is to take advantage of the hierarchical structure of the system. Implementing this concept, a large shared cache is placed between each cluster and the inter-cluster network. The shared cache and the shared memories distributed among the clusters form part of ASURA's hierarchical memory architecture, providing various unique features to ASURA
