Using cooperative simultaneous parallelism in nonhomogeneous microcomputer clusters

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5295116
Based on our experience controlling different types of microprocessors in clusters through the central processor-memory connection, and based on our succussful parallel operation of a cluster of minicomputer central processors, a MIDAS-like arrangement of different microcomputers in a cluster is useful in dealing with a variety of problems. The MIDAS-like arrangement refers to master-slave control of the cluster by a minicomputer and to data being passed through the cluster by connecting prefilled memories into and out of processor address space. We discuss how to connect the hardware into a cluster and conclude with descriptions of how to apply the hardware to selected diverse applications. 11 refs., 8 figs.
