Functional partitioning of multi-processor architectures
thesis
posted on 2018-03-23, 10:16 authored by Samir S. Al-KhayattMany real-time computations such as process control and robotic
applications may be naturally distributed in a functional manner. One
way of ensuring good performance, reliability and security of
operation is to map or distribute such tasks onto a distributed,
multi-processor system. The time-critical task is thus functionally
partitioned into a set of cooperating sub-tasks. These sub-tasks run
concurrently and asynchronously on different nodes (stations) of the
system. The software design and support of such a functional
distribution of sub-tasks (processes) depends on the degree of
interaction of these processes among the different nodes. [Continues.]
