  • High speed interconnection for embedded systems within a computer network
    Publication number: 20020057687
    Abstract: For obtaining an efficient, high-speed and reliable protocol a protocol stack is developed that supports only functionality which is absolutely essential for the application. In particular, it ignores all those functions relating to use in long-distance networks. The inventive step firstly comprises the movement of a distributed synchronization in time of multiple computation systems from the application to the protocol stack for realization of a voting mechanism within the computer network and, secondly, the integration of this functionality in this efficient and reliable protocol.
