Keller, Robert M. | An approach to determinacy proofs | It is known that any parallel program graph composed of continuous operators itself represents a continuous function. In other words, the network is determinate in the sense that for a given input, the output is unique, independent of the timing of the constituent operators. This result is applied t... | Parallel program graph; Determinacy proofs | 1978 |

Keller, Robert M.; Lindstrom, Gary E. | An architecture for a loosely-coupled parallel processor | An architecture for a large (e. g. 1000 processor) parallel computer is presented. The processors are loosely-coupled, in the sense that communication among them is fully asynchronous, and each processor is generally not unduly delayed by any immediate need for specific data values. The network supp... | Loosely-coupled; Parallel processors | 1978 |

Davis, Alan L. | Data driven nets: a maximally concurrent, procedural, parallel process representation for distributed control systems | A procedural parallel process representation, known as data-driven nets is described. The sequencing mechanism of the data-driven representation is based on the principle of data dependency. Operations are driven into action by the arrival of the required working set of input operands. Execution of ... | Data driven nets | 1978 |

Evans, David | Display of complex three dimensional finite element models | Complex three dimensional models can be displayed after an automatic generation of a finite element (panel) mapping. although this automatic generation algorithm fails at certain levels of model complexity, the elimination of these failures can be accomplished through user interaction. This report p... | Three dimensional models; Finite element models | 1978 |

Boll, Steven F.; Done, William John | Noise suppression methods for robust speech processing (1 Oct. 1978- 31 Mar. 1981) | Robust speech processing in practical operating environments requires effective environmental and processor noise suppression. This report describes the technical findings and accomplishments during this reporting period for period for research program funded to develop real time, compressed speech ... | Noise suppression; Compressed speech analysis-synthesis algorithms; Signal contamination | 1978 |

Keller, Robert M. | Sentinels: A concept for multiprocess coordination | The sentinel construct is introduced, which provides a certain syntactic and semantic framework for multiprocess coordination. The advantage of this construct over others is argued to be semantic transparency, efficiency, ease in implementation, and usefulness in verfication. | Sentinels; Multiprocess coordination; Sentinel construct | 1978 |
