It appeared in the Proceedings of the 1994 International Parallel Processing Symposium, Cancun, Mexico, April 1994. A version was also given at the First International Connection Machine User Group Conference in Sante Fe, New Mexico on February 18, 1994.

• Packaging and Multiplexing of Hierarchical Scalable Expanders,
  by Frederic T. Chong , Eric A. Brewer, F. Thomson Leighton, and Thomas F. Knight, Jr.
  This is a systems view of the metabutterfly, a scalable version of the multibutterfly network. We show how to acheive the fault tolerance and peformance of the multibutterfly in a scalable network with reasonable hardware requirements. The resulting network, the multiplexed metabutterfly, acheives substantially better performance and fault tolerance than the traditional butterfly, but requires minimal extra hardware. It is the first really practical version of the multibutterfly.

• Multiprocessor Run-time Support for Fine-Grained, Irregular DAGs,
  by Frederic T. Chong , Shamik D. Sharma, Eric A. Brewer, and Joel Saltz.
  This is on how to do fine-grain applications, such as sparse matrics, on machines with user-level communication (like the CM5). It has been submitted for publication.

• Preventing Recursion Deadlock in Concurrent Object-Oriented Systems,
  by Eric A. Brewer and Carl A. Waldspurger.
  This appears in the Proceedings of the 1992 International Parallel Processing Symposium, Beverly Hills, California, March 1992. This is also technical report MIT/LCS/TR-526.
