A Testbed Processor for Embedded Multicomputing

Abstract

A 16-node array of transputers is being installed in an undersea electronics bottle. A passive backplane IBM-AT compatible processor was previously configured and is the host for the array. the Experimental Autonomous Vehicle-West (EAVE-West) and Free Swimming Mine Neutralization Vehicle (FSMNV) will both use this new processor. The array will provide extended capability for future versions of these systems and their follow-on efforts. Also, the testbed processor is expected to provide valuable insights concerning undersea applications of embeddable multi-computing. Keywords: Reprints, Autonomous Undersea vehicles (AUV), Artificial intelligence.
