Distributed Computing and Dynamic Architecture Multiprocessors

Abstract

The problems of organizing distributed computations are considered. It is shown that the main reason for arising difficulties is an absence of adequate computational model. Dynamic automata networks (DAN) are proposed as such a model. Properties of DAN and possibilities of realizing multiprocessors with dynamic architecture based on this model are considered. Retrospective review of developing and realizing this concept from recursive computers to multiprocessors with dynamic architecture is shown.
