With the advent of distributed processing, the computational abilities of large systems have greatly increased. In particular, the performance of computer graphics systems can be greatly improved by exploiting the inherent distributed characteristics of such a system. The UGA system (a unified graphics architecture) currently being developed by the Brown University Computer Graphics Group follo...

In a heterogeneous distributed memory parallel computer system, each of the processors has its own memory. Describing the system using queuing network, each of the processors has its own ready queue. Since the system has many I/O queues and I/O processors, therefore, the various processors with their various ready queues and the various I/O processors and their various I/O queues form the queui...
