Parallel processing architecture for real-time control
Peter John Fleming · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 1990
In this chapter we study architectures, algorithms, and applications for parallel processing in real-time control. The nature of advances in VLSI technology have resulted in increased computing power generally being made more available through parallel processing architectures of different types rather than increased clock rate in uniprocessor systems. Despite the development of faster processors, the real attraction of parallel processing to system designers is its scalability to meet increasing demands. There is a plethora of control engineering application areas.
