On the side of the architects of massively parallel processors, it is difficult to manufacture by way of tried experiment and to access their own designing architectures repeatedly. Therefore, it is looked for an environment aiding to design and assess the hardware / software tradeoff.And, though required the experimental environment for the consistent education from algorithm to system programming and hardware architecture, a few institution can provide a massively parallel processing system.In this research, we have provided a virtual massively parallel processing environment aiming at effective use for education and research. We have summarized requirements for this environment, and emphasized its adaptability to various problems. We have suggested a virtual model-architecture, consisting of clusters of multiple bus-based distributed shared memory architecture. We have also discussed implementation of the virtual massively parallel processor architecture which is the kernel of this environment. Finally, we have presented an experimental parallel programming system.
