We present the design and procedures for implementing a parallel optical coherence tomography (POCT) imaging system that can be adapted to an endoscopic format. The POCT system consists of a single mode fiber (SMF) array with multiple reduced diameter (15 microm) SMFs in the sample arm with 15 microm center spacing between fibers. The size of the array determines the size of the transverse imag...

OF THE DISSERTATION The SpiceC Parallel Programming System

This paper describes the architecture, implementation and performance, of a heterogeneous parallel deduction system (HPDS). The HPDS uses multiple deduction components, each of which attempts to find a refutation of the same input set, but using different deduction formats. The components cooperate by distributing clauses they generate to other components. The HPDS has been implemented in Prolo...

A parallel database management system (DBMS) called Kappa is developed in order to provide e cient database management facilities for knowledge information processing applications. The data model of Kappa is based on a nested relational model to treat complex structured data e ciently. The system is written in KL1, and works on parallel and/or distributed environments of conventional machines w...

When available computers are incapable of providing a sufficient computing power for solving the arising tasks, while purchasing new and more powerful equipment is economically infeasible, then the only way to gain additional computing power is to parallel the computational process between several interconnected computers. The idea of parallel distributed computing has been studied in cyberneti...
