Hi netters,
I have a few questions about the dynamic reconfiguration of the
transputers.
1. What is the primary purpose of dynamic reconfiguration ?
Is it for fault tolerance or algorithm mapping, etc.? I would
also like to hear about the various other purposes for which
the dynamic reconfiguration is used ?
2. How is the code for a program supporting the reconfigurations done?
Are there any tools available to aid the programmer in writing
such programs especially if there are 100's of processors to
reconfigure dynamically.
3. Can I have a list of dynamically reconfigurable machines ? This
query was raised in the net some time ago, and I would like to
get this list.
I would also like to establish email contacts with people involved in
developing software for dynamically reconfigurable machines. I would
like to discuss their experiences in developing such software, etc.
Thanks,
Madhan.
