IMPLEMENTATION OF DARYN

ON ARMSTRONG
WHAT IS ARMSTRONG

 ARMSTRONG is a loosely coupled parallel processor.

 Loosely coupled system is a group of processors which can

operate independent of each other.
IMPLEMENTATION

 The implementation consists of data structures and pseudo

codes for different functional units.

 Pseudo code is a compact and informal high-level description

of a computer programming algorithm.
 Each Armstrong node models the station contains unique
information

 The node’s unique identifier number

 The number of tracks

 The protocol connections for the node

Above information is stored in a structure

 FUNCTION OF NODE

Each node that control the track maintains two lists

 The first list contains the current reservation requests for that track.

 The second list stores a single entry i.e. if any train currently
occupies the track.
CONTINUE…
Two structures are used by the nodes for communication

 The first structure corresponds to the message between any two

nodes.

 The second structure is utilized by the output buffer for each

node.

 There is another structure to store the parameters of the train

computer.
HOST PROCESSOR
 The host processor outside initializes the simulation

 and loads a copy of the executable program on each of the

corresponding ARMSTRONG processors.

 In the “main” route the node reads the identifier value

propagated to it by the host processor
CONTINUE
 Each node executes the function “initial“(a subroutine
called at starting).

 This subroutine reads the identities of all nodes. It then

recalls the Armstrong OS assigned identifier for the
neighboring nodes.

 Comparison is made between nodes own identifier and

Armstrong OS assigned identifiers for neighboring
nodes.
