  • Dynamically allocating server processes to client processes
    Patent number: 6233602
    Abstract: A distributed data processing system in a surface vehicle comprises sensors, user I/O, data processing and mass storage of geographical data. By means of a restricted library of system calls or primitives that can only be processed as unitary entities after deterministic transport control while keeping the transfer stateless, the distributed real-time operating system allows coexistent running of a plurality of processes that share localized processing power and/or a device, a sensor, I/O and/or file data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 1998
    Date of Patent: May 15, 2001
    Assignee: Mannesman VDO AG
    Inventors: Roland T. H. Van Venrooy, Petrus M. A. Van Tooren

  • Multinode distributed data processing system for use in a surface vehicle
    Patent number: 5652911
    Abstract: A distributed data processing system in a surface vehicle comprises sensors, user I/O, data processing and mass storage of geographical data. Using a restricted library of system calls or primitives that can only be processed as unitary entities after deterministic transport control while keeping the transfer stateless, the distributed real-time operating system allows coexistent running of a plurality of processes that share localized processing power and/or a device, a sensor, I/O and/or file data.
