Yz. Chang et Rw. Daniel, PARALLEL PROCESSING NETWORK FOR ADAPTIVE CONTROLLERS, IEE proceedings. Part D. Control theory and applications, 140(1), 1993, pp. 25-33
The paper presents a top-down methodology for an approach to the syste
matic design of medium-to-coarse grain multiprocessor systems for real
-time computer controllers. The scheme exploits the processing require
ments of control applications to simplify software development and mai
ntenance. A design example of a transputer system for the adaptive con
trol of a prototype three degrees of freedom direct drive arm, current
ly being developed at Oxford University, is given to exhibit the valid
ity of the design philosophy.
