Parallel processing in control
Peter John Fleming, Dewi Bryn Jones · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 1988
In many application areas, processing requirements for digital control systems, such as execution time and algorithm complexity, have increased dramatically. For a growing number of real-time control applications, then, conventional single-processor systems are unable to satisfy the new demands for increased speed, greater complexity and greater flexibility. This chapter explores alternative architectures, specifically parallel processing architectures, and, through case study examples, demonstrates some strengths and shortcomings of the INMOS transputer.
