Turbo Pascal implementation of a distributed processing network of MS-DOS microcomputers connected in a master-slave configuration
turbopascalimple00ardn.pdf (14.81Mb)Abstract
This thesis describes the design and implementation of a
distributed processing network of IBM PC compatible computers capable
of performing parallel processing tasks. The network is a star cluster
local area network, with the central computer controlling the
operations of the satellite computers on a sequential basis.
The local area network software operates over the computer's
standard RS-232C communications ports, and is currently implemented to
allow the central computer to operate two satellite computers.
Processing tasks are dispatched to the satellite computers as programs
which run to completion on the satellite computers. Utility programs
within the software include file and message transfer to start the
programs on the satellite computers and to obtain the output of the
remotely executed program, configuration utilities to set the
communications port parameters, and windowing utilities for display of
information normally presented on the remote computer's display. The
program is implemented in Turbo Pascal 4.0 under the MS-DOS operating
system, version 3.21.
