From the Defense Technical Information Center: Real-Time Advanced Data Processing Parallel Element Processing Ensemble (PEPE), Final rept. Oct 1971-Apr 1973:
"The PEPE Program was charged with designing an MSI Model PEPE and a full complement of real-time and support software, and represented the second increment of a three-stage PEPE development effort being sponsored by ABMDA. The first stage was a three-year (1969-1971) PEPE IC model feasibility demonstration program conducted by Bell Telephone Laboratories, with SDC and Honeywell assistance during the last year. The third stage, which has just been initiated, is aimed at fabricating a 36-element MSI Model PEPE and producing the required set of software. This last stage is being performed by SDC, employing the Burroughs Corporation as a subcontractor for PEPE fabrication."
