Annual Conference: Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2018,
the 40th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from
Sunday August 19th. to Wednesday August 22nd. 2018 and is hosted by
Professor Dr. Rainer Spallek,
Chair of
VLSI Design, Diagnostics and Architecture
at the Faculty of Computer Science,
Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
The conference is organised by Dr. Spallek in collboration with Oliver Knodel and Uwe Mielke
and in partnership with WoTUG.
About WoTUG
WoTUG provides a forum for the discussion and promotion of concurrency ideas,
tools and products in computer science.
It organises specialist workshops and annual conferences that address
key concurrency issues at all levels of software and hardware granularity.
WoTUG aims to progress the leading state of the art in:
-
theory (programming models, process algebra, semantics, ...);
-
practice (multicore processors and run-times, clusters, clouds, libraries, languages, verification, model checking, ...);
-
education (at school, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, ...);
-
applications (complex systems, modelling, supercomputing, embedded systems, robotics, games, e-commerce, ...);
and to stimulate discussion and ideas on the roles concurrency will play in the future:
-
for the next generation of scalable computer infrastructure (hard and soft) and application,
where scaling means the ability to ramp up functionality (stay in control as complexity increases)
as well as physical metrics (such as absolute performance and response times);
-
for system integrity (dependability, security, safety, liveness, ...);
-
for making things simple.
Of course, neither of the above sets of bullets are exclusive.

Broadcast communication in fault tolerant multicomputer systems
By K. Gresser
Fault tolerance can be achieved by means of redundancy. Multicomputer architectures allow duplicated tasks to run on multiple processors. In this paper we focus on multicomputer systems consisting of a small number of processors (4 to 16). Fault tolerance instrumented in the operating system level tolerates hardware faults. This type of fault tolerance is known as software implemented fault tolerance. The information exchange of the computers requires a powerful communication system with fault tolerance properties. Since no standard system meets all requirements a new design was necessary. This paper describes concept, hardware, firmware and performance of the transputer based broadcast communication system (BCS).
