Abstract
We describe APEmille, the latest generation of the APE parallel proces sors. This machine, an evolution of the APE100 concept, is very effici ent for LGT simulations as well as for a broader class of applications requiring massive floating point computations. Several new features c haracterise this evolution. In particular local addressing capabilitie s are added to all computing nodes. APEmille also exhibits a higher de gree of integration with a network of workstations acting as a global host system. An APEmille system in the Teraflops range will be complet ed in three-four years. The architecture proposed in this paper is bei ng currently simulated and evaluated.
