Description
The Intel iPSC/2 is a parallel processor computer produced in 1987. It was the successor of the Intel iPSC and was superseded by the Intel iPSC/860.
It was available in several configurations, the base setup being one cabinet with 16 Intel 80386 processors, each with a 80387 coprocessor on the same module. This configuration has no onboard storage, and the operating system and user programs were loaded from a frontend PC. This PC was typically an Intel 301 with a special interface card. The system allows for expansion up to 128 nodes, each with processor and coprocessor.
