ABSTRACT
An architecture for a highly modular, recursively structured class of machines is presented. DDM1 is an instance of such a machine structure, and is capable of executing machine language programs which are data driven nets. These nets may represent arbitrary amounts of concurrency as well as arbitrary amounts of pipelining. DDM1 is a fully distributed multiprocessing system composed of completely asynchronous modules. The architecture allows for limitless physical extensibility without necessitating special programming or special hardware to support individual machines of widely varying sizes. DDM1 is capable of automatically and dynamically allocating concurrent tasks to the available physical resources. The essential characteristics of the highly parallel, pipelined machine language are also described along with its method for execution on DDM1.

System architecture: the context for scenario-based model synthesis
Constructing rigorous models for analysing the behaviour of concurrent and distributed systems is a complex task. Our aim is to facilitate model construction. Scenarios provide simple, intuitive, example based descriptions of the behaviour of component ...
An Improved Method for Direct Torque Control System
ISDEA '13: Proceedings of the 2013 Third International Conference on Intelligent System Design and Engineering ApplicationsIn order to reduce torque ripples in direct torque control (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system, space vector modulated (SVM) DTC based on active-disturbance rejection control (ADRC) was put forward. ADRC speed regulator was designed. ...
