Dear all,

	I am doing research on parallel AI, and as part of that I 
have been using a DAP 500. After a lot of messing about I have 
come to the tentative conclusion that SIMD type parallelism is very 
useful, but limited by the small size of the memory that is associated 
with each processor. 

	Apparently some SIMD machines use shared memory configurations,
can anyone tell me which machines that these are, or point me to some
references on problems of this type?

	Thanks

		Si.
