Abstract:
IBM PC compatible computers are widely used in microscopy for applications ranging from control to image acquisition and analysis. The choice of IBM-PC based systems over competing computer platforms can be based on technical merit alone or on a number of factors relating to economics, availability of peripherals, management dictum, or simple personal preference.IBM-PC got a strong “head start” by first dominating clerical, document processing and financial applications. The use of these computers spilled into the laboratory where the DOS based IBM-PC replaced mini-computers. Compared to minicomputer, the PC provided a more for cost-effective platform for applications in numerical analysis, engineering and design, instrument control, image acquisition and image processing. In addition, the sitewide use of a common PC platform could reduce the cost of training and support services relative to cases where many different computer platforms were used. This could be especially true for the microscopists who must use computers in both the laboratory and the office.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to design a simple, efficient, single-user multitasking kernel for real-time applications on the IBM Personal Computer. Since real-time application consists of many tasks and their order of execution cannot be predetermined, it is almost impossible to write a monolithic block of code that can meet the response time of all the tasks. By using multitasking, each task is assigned a priority based on the urgency of its response time. The kernel uses a priority-based preemptive scheduling strategy to select a new task to run, so the highest-priority task can always get to run when it is ready. The Basic Input/Output System of the PC is rewritten to be reentrant so that it can be shared by multiple tasks.

Abstract:
<p>The advent of the Personal Computer into the technical world has, at an extremely reasonable expense and trouble, made available to us, considerable computational power. But, as it was with computers, the next logical step is to have multiple units running in concert, or, in other words, sharing the load. This leads to the concept of Multiprocessing in order to attain an enhancement in operation speed and superior efficiency. The IBM PC is a versatile and market proven personal computer with a very large volume of software support and the STD Bus is a standard that has been developed to cope with a variable support, i.e. different processors and different I/O capabilities. Together, they combine the user interface - the display and keyboard · of the PC, the processing capabilities of the PC, the I/O capabilities of the STD Bus and the support processing possible on the STD Bus. The resulting system is powerful, easy to use and it has a lot of scope for development.</p><br>Master of Science

Abstract:
An approach to introduce the visually impaired to personal computers is presented in this thesis. The PC used for this work was an IBM PC Portable. Use of the resident software developed in conjunction with a Votrax Voice Unit can greatly simplify PC applications for the visually impaired. Further, a method to communicate with a mainframe is also presented. Almost all of the commonly used DOS application software are supported by the software presented in this thesis. Two modes of operation are possible. The advantages and differences between these two modes are considered. A detailed discussion on the software implementation is also presented. A method to develop resident programs that need to trap PC BIOS vectors is presented. It should be noted that the shell concept presents a shell of user invoked resident applications and not a group of subprograms which can be used by other applications.<br>M.S.

Bettermann, Stephan. "Implementing a fault-tolerant C-Linda in OS/2." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 1998. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1006.

Full text
Abstract:
The parallel paradigm is accepted by computer scientists as playing a role of increasing importance in their discipline area. To enable operation in the parallel paradigm, Linda may be used to extend existing and well understood programming languages such as C, Eiffel, Prolog, and Lisp. Linda is not a complete programming language in its own right, but rather a coordination language which is injected into a host programming language thereby creating a parallel dialect of that host language. The behaviour of every component, whether hardware or software, may be defined by a service specification. Thus, a failure may be defined as occurring when a component behaves in a manner not consistent with its service specification. The ability of a system to tolerate failures of any of its components is called fault-tolerance. The probability of failure occurring is higher in parallel systems and distributed systems than in single-processor systems due to increased hardware and software complexity. Furthermore, as many computations on such systems are long lived, the ability to tolerate failures is particularly important. Personal Computers represent an abundant computing resource. Connecting multiple Personal Computers via a Local Area Network, a common practice in medium to large scale organisations, results in a computing resource which is typically idle, but which is readily useable in the parallel paradigm. By exploiting this idle resource a fault-tolerant Linda may be implemented. Such a Linda implementation achieves low-cost fault-tolerance by distributing and replicating a tuple space in a ring arrangement over the Local Area Network. This thesis describes the development of a fault-tolerant Linda injected into the ANSI C programming language running on a Local Area Network of Personal Computers, each one running under OS/2. The Local Area Network is accessed using NetBIOS, as provided by OS/2's Communication Manager.

Abstract:
Personal computers and peripherals have become very powerful and sophisticated. A CGH can now be readily made on a personal computer system. Our equipment consists of an IBM-PC, a Western Graphtec MP 1000-01 x-y plotter, and an IBM dot matrix printer. The serial port for asynchronous communication is used to transfer the data to the plotter. The parallel port is used for the printer for data or program printing. The MP 1000-01 plotter is very suitable for plotting holograms because it has a large plotting area (36 × 27 cm), adequate resolution, and best of all it has a built-in firmware spline routing for smooth curve plotting using only a few points. We have also added a switch (and an optional rom) so that the plotter can be changed from the MP-1000 to the popular HP-7475A mode. Because of the limited accuracy (and the speed, a minor factor), we have used a series expansion on the mathematical expressions to obtain the necessary precision. We have made holograms of two spherical waves. The quality of the plotting is comparable with that obtained from large computer systems. We also investigated ways to equalize the dark and white spacings so that the reconstruction efficiency will be more uniform across the hologram. This may also increase the reconstruction efficiency for a phase hologram. Experimental results and related technical problems are discussed.

Abstract:
This work evaluates the capabilities and the performance of the Air Force Institute of Technology's Pile-of-PCs for parallel digital signal processing using space-time adaptive processing (STAP) under the Linux OS. The MITRE RT_STAP Benchmark version 1.1 is ported and executed on it, as well as on a cluster of six Sun SPARC workstations connected by a Myrinet network (the AFIT NOW), and on a IBM SP for comparison. Modifications to the RT_STAP benchmark source code are performed to accommodate the BLAS routines obtained from the US Department of Energy's Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative, and the FFTPACK from the Netlib repository, allowing improvements in the sustained Gflops/sec rales. However, the Pile-of-PCs also reveals limited scalability as a result of severe communication overheads imposed by RT ST AP cornerturn operations. Analysis of experimental data indicates that the PC Cluster outperforms AFIT NOW but needs interconnection network improvements to be globally competitive to multicomputers such as the IBM SP.

Full text
Abstract:
We have developed programs which run on personal computers such as IBM PC. Using these programs along with a computer aided design (CAD) program such as, Autocad, one can completely design and layout mask patterns of photonic devices on a personal computer. Two additional features are needed to make a CAD program useful for designing mask patterns. One is the handling of shapes with arbitrary angle such as a waveguide bend. We have pattern fracturing programs which can break up any shape into rectangles. The output of the fracturing program is a script file. Autocad can read in the script file and compose the shape. The other feature needed is the conversion between the Autocad database and the mask description format, Calma GDSII. We have written a set of utility programs to convert an Autocad database in the DXF format to the Calma GDSII format. We can also backconvert from the GDSII to the script files. This procedure can be used to verify that the conversion process is error-free. The entire procedure is automated by running programs in the batch mode. We have designed waveguide devices consisting of Y- branch, S-shaped bend, directional coupler, etc., and electrode patterns. By using different magnification factors for the x and y axes, all details of a waveguide device can be viewed on the graphics screen.

Abstract:
Personal computers can now be used for serious optical design. Currently there is much good optical design software available for the IBM PC, Macintosh, and their compatibles. This software can provide high-resolution graphics, design optimizations, tolerance analyses, and image evaluations. The HOEs are now being considered for serious optical designs in which HOEs are intermixed with conventional optics. To the authors’ knowledge, none of the commercially available optical design software can analyze a generally defined HOE. Most of the software can only deal with simple holograms generated by two-point sources. Since a complete analysis and optimization are an important and necessary part of an optical design procedure and since, unfortunately, these processes are laborious and difficult, one naturally wants to take advantage of the software's capability as much as possible to perform these tasks.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The design of a turbocharged, gasoline fueled, four-stroke engine is considered with the goal of selecting design and operating variables to minimize fuel consumption. The development of the engine simulation code and the effect of model assumptions on the results are presented. The optimization includes constraints on detonation, exhaust emissions, and torque. Variables are bounded to assure the validity of the simulation. A number of observations about the interaction between the thermo-fluid model and the nonlinear programming algorithm are made and general strategies to enhance the optimization under such circumstances are discussed. The method is illustrated by exploring the design of a turbocharged Buick V-6 engine on an IBM PC/AT personal computer. Stock design variables, and operating variables that provided a design away from the constraints imposed by torque, emission, and detonation were chosen as the starting point for the optimization. Application of the optimization strategy resulted in an 18 percent reduction in predicted fuel consumption at 50 miles per hour. Significant specific recommendations included a reduction in combustion chamber volume, an increase in intake manifold pressure, an increase in intake duration, a decrease in exhaust duration, and relatively small changes in valve geometry. The paper clearly demonstrates that it is feasible to do relatively sophisticated engineering design and optimization on personal computers, and it sets the stage for further work in this area.

Abstract:
The ZAPP/PC system records interferograms through a video frame grabber. Its processing options include the ability to record binary files that contain video intensity data, fringe center locations, wavefront phase maps on a uniform grid or Zernike coefficients. A utility program, called ZA, was developed at SGT to allow additional data processing capabilities. ZA allows the user to access all the ZAPP/PC binary file types for processing on an IBM compatible personal computer that has EGA or VGA color graphics capability. ZAPP/PC software is not needed for this off-line processing. Video intensity files and phase map files can be displayed in false color on the computer monitor, including all file identification fields. An option is provided to store the phase map on disk as a video intensity file, with encoded peak to valley and contour step size graphics. This file can be displayed on the ZAPP/PC TV monitor, and hard copies are produced on the video thermal printer. Phase map data are processed to provide phase gradient statistics and plots. ZA is written in MICROSOFT QUICKBASIC 4.5.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Automatic data acquisition and control have become an indispensable part of engineering but many data acquisition and control equipments remain relatively inflexible and cumbersome for most engineering applications. Hence, engineers often need to custom design and build their data acquisition and control system to support their in-house automatic testing and monitoring equipment. This project investigates the design fundamentals and guidelines in setting up a flexible data acquisition and control system. A flexible data acquisition and control system (FDACS) is defined as one which possesses such characteristics as the ease of implementation, the ease of upgrading system’s capability (e.g. data volume and control channels) and the ability for information sharing. An experimental data acquisition system is used as the platform to facilitate the study. It consists of an IBM compatible personal computer, a remote host microprocessor and seven signal processors. Using this implementation, the system is able to provide up to 28 digital I/O lines, 28 analog input lines, 42 digital output lines and an average execution time per instruction of 1 ms.

Full text
Abstract:
Fiber_Expert, a rule-based expert system, can help engineers to (1) maintain a data base of fiber optic components manufactured by various vendors, (2) simulate the performance of a data link or fiber optic interconnection system built by combining components from the data base, and (3) design an optimum fiber optic data link configuration that satisfies a set of user-specified constraints. The inference mechanism based on the optimization procedure is a major feature of this expert system. The optimum configuration is determined by a new, efficient, heuristic tree-searching algorithm. For simulating the performance of a specified data link configuration the program includes the spectrum of the source and the structure and the composition of the fiber. Calculations of the power budget, the bandwidth and the rise time, and the bit error rate of the system are executed by efficient and accurate modules. The software is menu-driven and userfriendly. Fiber_Expert was developed on IBM PCs but can run on practically any type of personal computer available.
