ABSTRACT

The Monte Carlo Array Processor(MAP) at Liverpool University has been fully operational for 5 months. The system consists of 300 PC's connected via fast ethernet. In order to operate MAP a flow control system (FCS) was written. Details of the performance of MAP and of the FCS will be discussed together with issues arising from the first 6 months of operation. Plans for the scaling of MAP to an LHC era system will be presented.
