Hello, I am looking for any and all references to the following areas. Please e-mail the responses to me directly, I _WILL_ post a summary in two (2) weeks. 1. Software network simultors (comercial or PD). 2. Software line noise simulation (serial, broadband, ANYTHING) 3. Using simulators in the classroom. Thanks in advance Roland J.

X-Vms-To: @TMP.ADRES Comments: From: Patrick Van Renterghem, State University of Ghent References: > The Transputer Lab, Grotesteenweg Noord 2, +32 91 22 57 55 Keywords: > B-9710 Ghent-Zwijnaarde, Belgium, Europe. Fax: +32 91 22 85 91 I am currently doing some work on multitransputer-based simulation. These are distributed architectures, based on the Inmos transputer, a fascinating chip with a stunning performance. I am implementing continuous simulation languages (e.g. CSMP) on a network of transputers (commercial systems of Inmos and Parsytec, home-built 4 x 4 T800-20 array without external memory and our Computing Tower. I would appreciate some help on two different aspects of my work: - I would like to do some performance evaluation and simulation of a distr. transputer network, running a block-structured simulation language. I have to take lots of different things into account, such as the duration of each block, the interprocessor communication, ... The task allocation algorithm that I am using supports a lot of these aspects, but not all. I would like to see the effect of different algorithms by simulating the simulation task. I am also interested in performance evaluation methods for distributed systems, with certain communication and computation parameters. - The continuous systems simulation language that I am using is a block structured one, not the thing that most people use nowadays, but it has certain advantages over algebraic languages for detecting parallelism, ... How do you feel about this? Is anyone using this approach on distributed machines or have you developed another technique ?

Engineering Computing Center Source-Info: From (or Sender) name not authenticated. Hello, I am trying to locate two programs. The first program is ISP which is an Instruction Set Processor not to be confused with the statistical package of the same name marketed by Berkeley. I would like to find a copy of this written in C so that it can be run under VM/CMS, UNIX, and PRIMOS. The second program that im trying to locate is a BLISS compiler, again not to be confused with the BLSS statistical package marketed by Berkeley. the BLISS im looking for is a programming language. any leads on either of these programs would be apprecriated. thank you. ============================================================================= UUCP : {cbosgd | uunet}!ukma!ukecc!beech BITNET: beech%ukecc.uucp@ukma DOMAIN: beech@engr.uky.edu ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Oct 88 11:18 EDT From: ABURDENE%BKNLVMS.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Subject: New Book On Simulation To: simulation@ufl.EDU X-Vms-To: IN%"simulation@ufl.edu" New book on Simulation.

I'm asking for this with regard to building an adaptive controller for (human or other) figure animation on top of it. Any responses which spare me from reinventing the wheel, or even a couple of spokes of the wheel would be greatly appreciated. If I get sufficient response, I'll post to the net.
