Abstract

In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of a tool to teach dynamic reconfiguration of multicomputer systems. DYRECT is a graphical tool used to visualize and analyze various topologies like stars, cubes, meshes, trees, and rings. Various existing reconfiguration algorithms have been incorporated as a part of DYRECT's reconfiguration library. This tool allows the user to interactively design new reconfiguration algorithms. DYRECT has been implemented on PC-DOS machines running Microsoft Windows.
