The '''Parallel Element Processing Ensemble''' (also known as '''PEPE''') was one of the very early [[parallel computing]] systems. This computer was designed and built in the mid-1970s by [[Burroughs Corporation]] at their Great Valley Labs engineering facility in [[Paoli, Pennsylvania]]. The original goal was to build a computer system that could simultaneously track up to 288 incoming [[ballistic missile]] [[warhead]]s.<ref name=silogic>[http://www.silogic.com/PEPE/PEPE.html PEPE - Parallel Element Processing Ensemble] Last updated on June 8, 2011.</ref><ref name=Ford>{{cite book|author=R.
