Communicating Process Architectures 2008
CPA 2008 will start on the evening of Sunday 7th September, through
to lunchtime on Wednesday 10th September, at the University of York in Yorkshire (UK).
Welcome!
WoTUG is a forum set up to support those applying the CSP
model of parallel processing. You will find on this site articles and information
that can help you design and build concurrent software and hardware systems that
really work, day in, day out, without any need to spend man-years of debugging
effort.
- Information on CSP, the mathematical basis of our work
- Our papers, the distilled results of our work
- The KRoC retargettable occam compiler
- A page about the group.
The Abstract below is from a paper in our database:
Processor Farm Analysis and Simulation for Embedded Parallel Processing Systems
By R. W. S. Tregidgo, A. C. Downton
A brief survey of current Parallel Processing literature reveals a large number of highly application specific architectures [1] [2] [3] [4]. The arrival of the Transputer [5] has done little to alleviate this situation, in fact the only constraint on custom architectures seems to be the number of communication links currently supported by the Transputer. The lack of generality in such architectures is expensive and often makes future system expansion difficult. The objective of this paper is to show that by accepting some compromise on performance, general purpose multiprocessor systems can be analytically designed.
