Moss %T A Microcomputer-based Model Robot System with Pulse-Width Modulation Control %J Micro %I IEEE %V 5 %N 1 %D Feb. 1985 %P 7-21 %X Constructed of relatively but realistic and durable elements, this model is a practical tool for training in robot operation and for research in robotic control systems %K robotics %A Malcom C. Harrison %A Owen Smith %T The Ampos Multiprocessor - A Computer System for Laboratory Use %J Micro %I IEEE %V 5 %N 1 %D Feb. 1985 %P 22-30 %X This highly modular processor management system has been designed to provide computational facilities for research laboratories. It uses a command language and interprocessor communications similar to those of the Unix system. %K medical distributed system interprocessor communication %A Wayne Fischer %T IEEE P1014 - A Standard for the High-Performance VME Bus %J Micro %I IEEE %V 5 %N 1 %D Feb. 1985 %P 31-41 %X The popular VME bus allows high-speed interaction of 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microprocessors. This proposed standard outlines a flexible, asynchronous design capable of a full 32-bit address and data path. %K asynchronous backplane buses motorola %A T. Radhakrishnan %A C.P. Grossner %T Cuenet - A Distributed Computing Facility %J Micro %I IEEE %V 5 %N 1 %D Feb. 1985 %P 42-52 %X This flexible system, supporting any interconnection topology specified by a programmer, allows system analysts to experiment with alternate program decomposition strategies. %K multiprocessor distributed system interconnection network packet bus %A Hubert Kirrmann %T Events and Interrupts in Tightly Coupled Multiprocessors %J Micro %I IEEE %V 5 %N 1 %D Feb. 1985 %P 53-66 %X In a decentralized multiprocessor, events must be stored, queued, and acknowledged. This can be accomplished by implementing a special event receiver called a synapse and by utilizing several forms of acknowledge %K synapse distributed systems acknowledgement -- - peter bain ...!{allegra|decvax|clyde|ihnp4 }!watmath!wateng!pdbain hard mail: CCNG, CPH-2369A, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ont.
