Abstract

A good deal of interest has been generated by the use of multiprocessor distributed architecture networks for resource sharing, for load equalization, and for interprocessor message communications. Such networks generally employ node processing elements that fall into several distinct categories: general-purpose homogeneous processors, general-purpose nonhomogeneous processors, array computers, and pipe-line computers. Topology spans a multitude of configurations from generalized graph structures, to tree and star networks, to multiple-bus and time-shared bus systems.
