DAS is a wide-area distributed computer of 200 Pentium Pro nodes. The machine is built out of clusters of workstations, located at four Dutch Universities:

Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
University of Amsterdam
Delft University of Technology,
Leiden University,

The University of Utrecht also participates.

The clusters are interconnected by ATM links for wide-area communication, whereas Myrinet, a popular Gigabit LAN, is used for local communication.
