Since its inception, the blackboard paradigm has been viewed as particularly appropriate for parallel and distributed hardware architectures. Yet, the paradigm’s multiprocessing potential remains largely untapped. The availability of multiprocessing hardware and languages in conjunction with tools for building blackboard applications is sparking renewed interest in multiprocessing blackboard ar...

This paper provides an overview of the multiprocessing support in the Microsoft Windows NT/2000 operating system, with an emphasis on scalability and other capacity planning issues. It also discusses specific features of the Intel P6 architecture that provide the hardware basis for large scale multiprocessing systems. As a shared memory multiprocessing implementation, Windows NT/2000 is predict...

Technologies such as identification, detection, and measurement based on multiple industrial cameras have developed vigorously. Most of these technologies require synchronized video signals from cameras, thus a general method synchronization has always been an important research direction. To reduce error hardware cost the existing multi-vision sensor methods, multiprocessing or multithreading ...

TIT&S, Bhiwani TIT&S, Bhiwani TIT&S, Bhiwani TIT&S, Bhiwani Summary Since the advent of Operating system, the focus of the work is aimed at better resource scheduling. Handling of multiple tasks at a single time by single processor is old story now. Today is the time of multitasking as well as multiprocessing. The scheduling of processes or tasks have taken a whirlwind after the concept of mult...

Computing is now shifting towards multiprocessing. The fundamental goal of multiprocessing is improved performance through the introduction of additional hardware threads or cores (referred to as “cores” for simplicity). Modern network stacks can exploit parallel cores to allow either message-based parallelism or connection-based parallelism as a means to enhance performance. OpenSolaris has re...

Multiprocessor systems’ speed and throughput has surpassed the superscalar uniprocessor, making the attentions drawn towards new ways of increasing the efficiency and speed of the multiprocessor. Software developmental approaches are now being tailored towards multiprocessing by exploiting parallel programming technique. Compiler developers are not left behind, new and existing compilers are sh...

Many off–line handwritten word recognition systems have been proposed since the early nineties. Most systems reported high recognition rates, however, they overlooked a very important factor in the process; speed factor. In this paper we explore the potential for speeding up an off–line handwritten word recognition system via concurrency. The goal of the system is to achieve both full accuracy ...

The Hearsay II speech-understanding system (HSII) (Lesser, et al., 1974; Fennell, 1975; Erman and Lesser, 1975) is an implementation of a knowledge-based multiprocessing Al problem-solving organization. HSII is intended to represent a problem-solving organization which is applu able for implementation in a multiprocessing environment, and is, in particular, currently being implemented on the Cm...
