Experimenting With Multiprocessor Simulator Concepts

Abstract

Multiple microcomputer system used to investigate application of parallel processing to real-time simulation. With dual-base architecture, each microcomputer communicates with corresponding microcomputer on opposite bus through dual-port interface memory. Transfers of data to and from front-end processor occur on interactive information bus. Transfers of data related to simulation calculations occur on real-time-information bus. System, called the real-time multiprocessor simulator (RTMPS), is tool for developing low-cost, portable, user-friendly simulators.
