Record 1 2015-01-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Life Cycle (Informatics)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The hardware and software are really parts of the same design, and the same mathematical approach needs to apply to both. Some of the current papers describing highly parallel architecture do not have the rigor of the HOS technique.

OBS

See MPP, Massively Parallel Processor and Connection Machine.

CONT

Massively parallel architecture. Some modern supercomputers have thousands of simple processors. Complex mathematical tasks are split up into thousands of tiny sub-tasks, and each sub-task is given to a single processor. For instance, when modelling a weather system or chemical reaction, each processor can simulate the movement of a molecule or group of molecules. When modelling nuclear reactions, each processor can act out the movement of a sub-atomic particle.

Key term(s)
  • shake-and-bake programming

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cycle de vie (Informatique)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Architecture mettant en œuvre simultanément un grand nombre de processeurs qui concourent à la résolution d'un même problème.

CONT

Les possibilités offertes par les circuits intégrés VLSI [...] permettent désormais de penser en termes d'architectures massivement parallèles comportant des milliers, voire un million de processeurs d'une puissance de l'ordre de celle d'un tout petit micro-ordinateur. Ce qui importe ce n'est plus désormais le nombre de processeurs, mais bien plus leur organisation et la façon dont ils échangent l'information.

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
OBS

See "higher order software"(HOS).

[Un système essentiel comprend entre autres] Un module de programmation intelligente qui traduira un problème donné, exprimé dans un formalisme adéquat en un programme opérationnel.

Record 3 1985-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Systems Analysis (Information Processing)
CONT

The HOS software assists the designer by selecting the co-control structures that would be valid. A requirement analyst night at this point want to work with a detail analyst, who quickly adds to the control map the detail required to make it acceptable to the ANALYZER.

Record 4 1985-03-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Software
  • Systems Analysis (Information Processing)
DEF

a system specification tool which, unlike other such tools, precisely checks the logic of the specification. It automatically generates the required code.

CONT

The HOS system can generate any application and is particularly useful with highly complex logic. The HOS software that generates code is separate from the software that allows the logic of the application to be specified and built.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Logiciels
  • Analyse des systèmes informatiques

Record 6 1985-03-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Data Banks and Databases
CONT

Data-base experience has shown that thorough data analysis should precede application building. The application designers then need a simple technique for navigating through the data model. Using HOS(Higher-Order Software), we can provide defined structures for data-base navigation.

French

  • Banques et bases de données
