Data exchange processor for distributed computing system

Abstract: A distributed computing system has a data exchange processor which is especially adapted to control operations involving the transfer of data among components of the distributed computing system, whereby the master computer is spared the task of controlling data transfer operations.

Microprocessors in instruments and control

Abstract: No wonder you activities are, reading will be always needed. It is not only to fulfil the duties that you need to finish in deadline time. Reading will encourage your mind and thoughts. Of course, reading will greatly develop your experiences about everything. Reading microprocessors in instruments and control is also a way as one of the collective books that gives many advantages. The advantages are not only for you, but for the other peoples with those meaningful benefits.

A Framework for Investigating a Class of Distributed Processing Algorithms

Abstract: As a result of the development of microcomputers, the term distributed computing has taken on new meaning. In this paper, we intend it to mean a general purpose computing system whose basic elements are microprocessors, and we are primarily concerned with the development of algorithms and the subsequent specification of software for the systems. We establish first a model for such a parallel asynchronous computing system giving particular attention to communications between microprocessors. Next, we propose a language for programs to execute on this system. Its syntax closely follows Simula, but its semantics are geared to the underlying hardware. The semantics we propose are such that we can use the programs both to investigate performance by simulation and to expound general techniques for algorithm construction for distributed systems.
