The Connection Machine is one of the first commercially available machines which allows users to explore massive parallelism for the solution of large scale engineering and scientific applications. The CM2 features up to 64,000 processors. This is parallelism on an unprecedented scale which opens up new areas of computational science. Because of the overwhelming response to the first edition, a new edition has been prepared. New papers which document recent developments are added, bringing the volume up-to-date.
