SIMSTAR — An Attached Multiprocessor for Dynamic System Engineering

StarLight Product Information Bulletin No. 04 (July 1983) describing the EAI SIMSTAR attached multiprocessor for dynamic system engineering. SIMSTAR combines a Parallel Simulation Processor (PSP), a Parallel Math Unit (PMU), and a Digital Arithmetic Processor (DAP) to achieve up to 200 million Normalized Operations Per Second (NOPS), enabling real-time or faster-than-real-time simulation of complex continuous and discrete systems. The system attaches to a host computer and is programmable via FORTRAN or the STARTRAN simulation language, with architecture supporting mixed analog, digital, and hybrid computing methodologies.
