Network Glenda software design

Abstract

This paper outlines the functions and data structures needed for the functioning of the Glenda software on a Network. The Network Glenda model follows the iPSC-860 Glenda software design. The paper describes the setup, working, and usage of Glenda software on a network. Message passing is handled using TCP/IP in the Network Glenda Model. The paper describes how the use of signal-handlers and rendezvous nodes make communication in the Network Glenda model a quick yet simple task. The primary Glenda functions and data types have been defined. Additionally, network messages and network data structures have been described.
