  • Design and analysis of hard real-time systems

    Creator:
    Zhu, Jiang
    Abstract:
    First, we study hard real-time scheduling problems where each task is defined by a four tuple (r, c, p, d): r being its release time, c computation time, p period, and d deadline. The question is whether all tasks can meet their deadlines on one processor. If not, how many...

  • On-line deadlock detection in distributed computer systems

    Creator:
    Edemenang, Effiong James Akpan
    Abstract:
    A new algorithm, the Horizontal and Vertical Algorithm, for on-line detection of deadlocks in distributed computer systems, is presented. Two protocols for implementing the algorithm are given. The first protocol, the centralized protocol, is based on the assumption that one site in the network acts as the controller for global...

  • Specification of parallel processing using production systems

    Creator:
    Gazaly, Mohammed
    Abstract:
    This research work investigates the use of production systems as a model of parallel processing. The purpose of the model is to provide a suitable medium within which parallel processing systems can be systematically specified, analyzed, and designed. Furthermore, the model provides a suitable means for deriving implementations of synchronization...

  • A rule based approach to program development

    Creator:
    Birjandi, Abbas
    Abstract:
    A rule based transformational model for program development and a metatool based on the above model is presented. The meta-tool can be instantiated to create various program development tools such as tools for building reusable software components, language directed editors, language to language translators, program instrumentation, structured document generator, and...

  • A new loop structure for distributed microcomputing systems

    Creator:
    Jafari, Hossein
    Abstract:
    A new modular loop architecture for distributed computer systems has been developed and compared with three of the most prominent loop architectures currently being used. The competitive loops with which the new architecture has been compared are the Newhall loop, the Pierce loop and the DLCN loop. The four loop...

  • Optimizing the microcode produced by a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Ma, Perng-Yi
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to develop methods to translate a certain machine independent intermediate language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a high level microprogramming language used to implement a...

  • Task partitioning and scheduling on arbitrary parallel processing systems

    Creator:
    El-Rewini, Hesham
    Abstract:
    Parallel programming is the major stumbling block preventing the parallel processing industry from quickly satisfying the demand for parallel computer software. This research is aimed at solving some of the problems of software development for parallel computers. ELGDF is a graphical language for designing parallel programs. The goal of ELGDF...

  • Achieving portability through software conversion

    Creator:
    Bertani, John A.
    Abstract:
    Conversion of software written for one machine or operating system to equivalent software for another machine or operating system is shown to be economically attractive using source-to-source translation. The features of an automatic converter are described using a Pascal-to-C translater as an example. Solutions to the problems of denesting procedures,...

  • Static task scheduling and grain packing in parallel processing systems

    Creator:
    Kruatrachue, Boontee
    Abstract:
    We extend previous results for optimally scheduling concurrent program modules, called tasks, on a fixed, finite number of parallel processors in two fundamental ways: (1) we introduce a new heuristic which considers the time delay imposed by message transmission among concurrently running tasks; and (2) we introduce a second heuristic...

  • Bagit : a very high level language for application programming

    Creator:
    Arshi, Taymoor
    Abstract:
    Very High Level Languages (VHLL) provide higher level abstractions and more powerful primitives than high level languages (HLL). A programmer uses these abstractions to solve a problem by specifying "what" is to be done rather than "how" it is to be done. This research work reports the design and development...
