Abstract: The APE computer is a high performance processor designed to provide massive computational power for intrinsically parallel and homogeneous applications. APE is a linear array of processing elements and memory boards that execute in parallel in SIMD mode under the control of a CERN/SLAC 3081/E. Processing elements and memory boards are connected by a `circular' switchnet. The hardware and software architecture of APE, as well as its implementation are discussed in this paper. Some physics results obtained in the simulation of lattice gauge theories are also presented.

Abstract: A new special purpose parallel processor (APE) presently under development is presented. The theoretical computing power of the processor is 1 Giga-flops and the memory can be expanded to 512 Megabytes. Sixteen 32 bit floating point processors each with a computing power of 64 Mega-flops are driven in parallel as a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) machine under the control of a 3081/E. Each floating-point unit is connected to three 8 Megabyte memories which can also be accessed by the 3081/E. Though this machine can be used as a general purpose array processor the hardware has been optimized for lattice QCD calculations.
