Evaluation of Work Distribution Algorithms and Hardware Topologies in a Multi-Transputer Network

Abstract

This thesis presents the evaluation of work distribution algorithms and hardware topologies in a multi-Transputer network. The primary emphasis concerns a work distribution algorithm known as 'workfarm' that is effective on problems that are divisible into independent work packets. All the programs and examples presented in this thesis were implemented in the OCCAM programming language, using the Transputer Development System, D700C, Beta 2.0 March 1987 compiler version. Keywords: Optimization, Debugging.
