Transit Project Home Page

Welcome to the Transit Project's World Wide Web Home Page. The MIT Transit Project aims to design, build, program, and utilize novel massively parallel MIMD computer architectures. We utilize cutting edge technology to achieve practical systems with a high degree of both scalar and parallel performance. To make very large computer systems practical, we are concerned with fault-tolerance and scalability.

The MIT Transit project ran from roughly 1987 to 1994. This document serves as a central location for information produced by and related to the Transit Project. This information currently includes conference papers, group working notes and an ftp site.

For historical reasons, the name Transit is often applied to the set of people who made up the project. Several people involved with the original Transit project now work on Abacus, a SIMD architecture focussed on low-level computer vision applications. The remaining Transit project members evolved into the reinventing computing group.

n.b. for work on adaptable and reconfigurable computing including specialization theory, quasistatic computing, global cooperative computing, feedback directed specialization, and DPGAs, see the reinventing computing home page.
