ABSTRACT
Ptolemy is a software environment for simulating, prototyping, and
synthesizing heterogeneous systems. For studying network, parallel, and
distributed systems, a Ptolemy Code Generation in C (CGC) domain target
using Active Messages (AM) on a Network of Workstations (NOW) is a
valuable tool. Active messages provide a low-overhead, portable
communications protocol that can take advantage of performance
improvements in the underlying network. A NOW pro vides a parallel
platform to study Ptolemy simulations on. This project implements a NOW
AM target for Ptolemy's CGC domain and explores the issues involved in
creating appropriate NOW Ptolemy systems.
