Ife, An Interactive Formula Editor, Teresa C. Chau Oct 1988

Ife, An Interactive Formula Editor, Teresa C. Chau

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

IFE, the Interactive Formula Editor is an experimental system designed, developed and implemented to propose a different approach to handle mathematical formulae. Its main characteristics are: (1) Interactive creation and edition of a mathematical formula, (2) Tex-form output for a printed version of a formula, and (3) Ability to generate a new set of characters by means of a character editor.

Mathematical symbols are provided and adjusted by the system, automatically. The system also, guides the user during the formula description because it knows the syntax of the graphical representation.

The system seems to be complete and perform well. The …


A Simulation Of A Message Passing Protocol For A Network Of Transputers, Janice R. Glowacki Sep 1988

A Simulation Of A Message Passing Protocol For A Network Of Transputers, Janice R. Glowacki

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With decreasing cost and size of processors and more sophisticated demands of computer users, it is becoming popular to execute programs in parallel on a distributed network. Processors communicate through shared memory or hard-wired links depending on the hardware and topology of the system. Simulation is an appropriate tool for the investigation of system throughput, and the projection of system behavior under various workloads.

In this paper is described the configuration and communication protocol of an INMOS Transputer network, and the construction, verification, and validation of a detailed simulation model for the network. Results obtained from the execution of the …
