We present novel hardand software that efficiently implements communication primitives for parallel execution on workstation clusters. We provide low communication latencies, minimal protocol, zero operating system overhead, and high throughput. With this technology, it is possible to build effective parallel systems using off-the-shelf workstations. Our goal is to develop a standard interfaceb...

The goal of this report is to survey state of the art and existing approaches for parallel programming on workstation clusters with special emphasis on object{oriented programming. First, workstation clusters as parallel computing platforms are characterized and fundamental concepts for parallel programming are discussed. Then, an overview of existing tools, systems, languages, and environments...

Medical robotics and computer aided surgery in general, and robotic telesurgery in particular, are promising applications of robotics. In this paper, various aspects of telesurgery are studied. After a general introduction to laparoscopic surgery and medical applications of robotics, the UC Berkeley/Endorobotics Inc./UC San Francisco Telesurgical Workstation, a master-slave telerobotic system f...

A description is given of the present state of development of a workstation that has been designed to provide the translator with efficient and easy-to-use computational tools. The aim is to offer translators fast and flexible on-line access to existing dictionary databases and bilingual text archives and also to supply them with facilities for updating, adding to and personalizing the system d...
