Abstract

Presented software toolbox connects the PC MS W95 based MATLAB 5 with a network of AD66 high performance boards. Each board includes one DEC AXP 64 bit 21066 and 21164 RISC processor working 233MHz-500MHz with additional circuits supporting T4/T8 transputer links, C40 comports or T9000 link standards. The ParaMat starts and controls parallel applications from within MATLAB 5. Users can program the parallel Alpha applications, which may use MATLAB and SIMULINK as a programmable high level graphical interface. This significantly reduces the development time and costs of the final parallel application and brings the high-end workstations performance to the standard, PC based, Windows platforms.
