A MIL-STD-1750A, single-board computer for embedded multiprocessor applications
JOHN DREES · 1988
The increasing complexity of today's military and space systems has created a need for greater computational throughput from embedded computer systems. Many experts have proposed multiprocessor systems to meet this need. Furthermore, spiraling development costs have led to computer system standards such as the MIL-STD-1750A Instruction Set Architecture. This paper details the development of a standard building block, 1750A multiprocessor, single-board computer that addresses these problems. It also describes a MIL-STD-1750A development environment that supports these concepts. In addition, such topics as using a cache memory scheme in a multiprocessing environment and using the VME bus as a multiprocessing system bus are also discussed.
