Line 1: '''Massive parallel processing''' ('''MPP''') is a term used in [[computer architecture]] to refer to a computer system with many independent [[arithmetic]] units or entire [[microprocessor]]s, that run in parallel. The term ''massive'' connotes hundreds if not thousands of such units. Early examples of such a system are the [[Distributed Array Processor]], the [[Goodyear MPP\|Goodyear MP]], ~~and~~ the [[Connection Machine]], and the [[Ultracomputer]]. Today's most powerful [[supercomputer]]s are all ''MP'' systems such as [[Earth Simulator]], [[Blue Gene]], [[ASCI White]], [[ASCI Red]], [[ASCI Purple]], [[ASCI Thor's Hammer]].
