The machine shop at the Annapolis Laboratory of the David Taylor Research Center (DTRC) provides model making and prototype support to a large variety of naval ship related engineering projects. In order to meet these challenging requirements, computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques are being used to produce “one of a kind” prototypes or very low volume production parts. The use of computer aides in these cases is to facilitate the accurate manufacture of a difficult part, rather than to improve manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, the approach provides the flexibility required to support research and development projects. Several examples of prototype shipboard components manufactured using CAD/CAM techniques are presented in this paper. The hardware and software that facilitated these projects are discussed. The examples described have met the requirements to produce a wide variety of prototype shipboard machinery components quickly and accurately.

A barrier is a method for synchronizing a large number of concurrent computer processes. After consideration of some basic synchronization mechanisms, a collection of barrier algorithms with either linear or logarithmic depth will be presented. A graphical model is described that profiles the execution of the barriers and other parallel programming constructs. This model shows that in order to achieve the best performance, different situations call for different barrier implementations. Timing experiments supporting these conclusions are detailed.

The design issues in implementing an integrated voice, data, and video services system on a token ring network are discussed. The presence of real-time traffic, namely voice, on the same network makes the implementation complicated. The performance requirements of these traffic types are different. Voice creates stream traffic on a network, whereas data traffic is bursty. Voice packets need to be delivered within a limited time interval, whereas the data emphasizes error-free delivery. A possible solution, supported by a simulation study, is discussed.< >

A research project at Iowa State University to investigate the use of a high-speed, byte-serial bus to implement a multiple-bus interconnection network for a fine-grain parallel architecture is discussed. The project focuses on the electrical properties of the bus, high-speed serial transmission, and bus contention resolution. Prototypes were developed to test critical aspects of the design, and the network was simulated to analyze its performance within the context of the parallel architecture. Results indicate that the network can effectively interconnect many processors (64) with relatively few buses (5), thereby giving a low packplane line count. By making a uniform bus that sent bytes at a rate limited only by clock skew, it was possible to increase the information transmission rate on a line by a factor of 4-10 over a conventional bus. This allowed for several high-speed buses with a limited pin count. It is concluded that multiple-bus networks offer the connectivity and bandwidth of a crossbar switch at a reasonable implementation cost.< >

This paper discusses the automatic generation of high-level software models from switch-level circuit descriptions. The proposed algorithms operate directly on the hierarchical description, and incorporate information about the design such as the structure, regularity, functionality, and control signals in the generation process. New algorithms are proposed and have been implemented for combinational modules and bus structures. A significant speedup has been obtained for these modules of a commercially available chip.

The authors propose a system-level model for simulating the Earth's atmosphere as an unguided optical communications channel. The major degradations in received optical intensity introduced by the atmosphere are scintillation, beam spreading, beam wander, and atmospheric transmissivity. The model presented considers scintillation and beam wander to impose random fading in the received signal while beam spreading is a constant loss in intensity. Atmospheric transmissivity is treated as a filterlike channel transfer function. Relationships for the parameters of the model are given in terms of parameters which characterize the optical link. Also included is a description of an implementation of the model. The implementation discussed is being integrated into an end-to-end simulator for a direct-detention laser communication system operating in the atmosphere.< >

Timing verification is a critical part of VLSI circuit design. A new approach to timing verification using Register Transfer Level (RTL) descriptions is presented, which eliminates false paths that occur due to (i) redundancy, (ii) reconvergent fanout or (iii) control signal constraints, and generates a test for the critical paths. High level instructions of the circuit are used to test for any timing violations. An algorithm to identify a minimal set of instructions that tests the circuit for all timing errors in valid paths is proposed. Results are presented based on an implementation of the algorithm in LISP programming language on a TI Explorer machine.
