Abstract

Most of the multi-processor systems designed for real time control demand a high efficiency, compromising the simplicity of the system. If this requirement imposes a hardware implementation of most of the primitives of the system, a complicated hardware will result. In order to retain to some extent the ease of using structured multi-programming languages, e.g. Concurrent Pascal [1], we have used these languages for the description and simulation of the complex hardware, instead of using them for software implementation of parallelism. This approach is explained with examples taken from an existing multi-processor system [2] developed at the Brussels Free University (V.U.B.).
