With decreasing cost and size of processors and more sophisticated demands of computer users, it is becoming popular to execute programs in parallel on a distributed network. Subtasks of a program can then be run on separate processors, communicating through shared memory or hard wired links, depending on the hardware and topology of the system.With ring networks, a token passing or store-and-forward communication scheme is often used. The token passing scheme allows for only one processor to send a message at a time. The store-and-forward scheme allows many messages to travel around the network and must be deadlock free.This paper presents the simulation of a distributed network of INMOS Transputers. Also discussed are the store-and-forward message passing scheme that is modeled and results obtained thus far.
