The first two major problems it was used on was a version of the Piece-wise Parabolic Method, and the N-body problem. It is the middle ground between systems like CMS or the nCube, and NOW, or networks of workstations. Developed in 1993 by Thomas Sterling and Donald Becker, popular libraries to utilize it include PVM, and MPI, or message passing interface. The first one built utilized DX4 processors and 10 megabit Ethernet, but current ones, like the Linux NetworkX, at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, are some of the most powerful computers in the world. FTP, identify this standard in networking computers and using them to solve parallel programming problems, named for the man tha
