Design of software for distributed/multiprocessor systems

Book ·
OSTI ID:5257603
Software design methodologies for distributed/multiprocessor systems are investigated. Parallelism and multitasking are considered as key issues in the design process. Petri-Nets and precedence graphs are presented as techniques for the modeling of a problem for implementation on a computer system. Techniques using the Petri-Net and precedence graph to decompose the problem model into subsets that may be executed on a distributed/multiprocessor system are presented. These techniques offer a systematic design methodology for the design of distributed/multiprocessor system software. 8 references.
