The ROLCoDE framework used in a computational distributed calculation

Abstract

In this paper it is presented the functionality of the distributed calculation in the ROLCoDE framework (Online Re-configurable Controller on Distributed Environment). This way it becomes possible to take advantage of the existent computational capacity, as well as, to increase the safety and the functionality of the system. A dynamic equation of state variables was used in the discreet system of the simulator example of the inverse pendulum. For such, it is considered the parameter M (mass of the car) as a dependent variable in the time. The diagrams of tasks and sub-tasks of the process simulator were elaborated in the ROLCoDE framework. In the first experiment the results were obtained with just a single processor through the development of a series, with the variable of the iterations to take values every time larger in order to obtain a more rigorous calculation increasing the computational capacity of the system. In a second experiment the results were obtained with two processors. For that, the used previously equation was subdivided in two equations, with the purpose of dividing the calculation for two processors. Finally, the two results were compared, for that, it a polynomial approach of degree three on the results obtained in both experiments took place. It was concluded that the ROLCoDE framework could use the computational capacity available in the distributed system in that it is inserted.
