It will be used for online-data reduction, trigger processing, image processing, etc. The system consists of typically up to 300 processor-modules and several global memory modules. They are interconnected by a multi-common-bus for data transfer and a multiple synchronization bus for processor/task-scheduling. Hardware and software have been designed to be free of bottle-necks: the number of modules and the bus capacity are not limited. An increased system size does not lead to increased memory or bus interferences. The system has also been designed to be fault-tolerant: hardware and software are organized totally decentralized; most temporary and permanent memory and bus transfer faults are corrected by hardware. Defective modules or busses are disabled by software; the system continues its operation with almost the same speed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100495,"journal":{"name":"Euromicro Newsletter","volume":"6 6","pages":"Pages 388-390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0303-1268(80)90084-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71877569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These devices are therefore particularly suited as special-purpose modules in many areas of data processing. This report offers a design for a net of closely coupled special-purpose microcomputers in computer graphics. This system performs utility functions for device-independent and terminal dependent graphics. It also serves to emulate certain higher-level functions for output and input handling. Because speed requirements differ greatly, both MOS and bit-slice microprocessors can be applied. Applying dynamically microprogrammable processors will permit run-time changes in the function repertoire. This facility is used for emulation and high-level graphics instructions at the microcode level.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100495,"journal":{"name":"Euromicro Newsletter","volume":"6 6","pages":"Pages 410-416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0303-1268(80)90090-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71876868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
