By the way, during your CDC years, did you ever work
on the 160-G? It's memory/external buffer modules had nine way access
and could work with up to nine CPUs. Since each memory was
indepenent, that meant that all nine processors could be running out
of the same memory or nine different memories at the same time. Made
for some marvelous and hairy troubleshooting problems when memory
conflicts occured.
Was the 160G a NASA special? I've heard of it, but never seen one.
Multiple CPUs sharing memory seems not to be an unknown concept at
CDC. Didn't the 8090 also have an option for two CPUs on the same
memory?
