Website References for Earlier Classes and my Lab:

• Parallel and Distributed Real-Time Systems, taught in Spring 2006, has a list of recommended reference textbooks and student slides on the topics covered in class.
• Probably the most useful part of the preceding webpage is the password protected reference section which contains additional information about real-time textbooks and reference papers about
  • real-time computing,
  • air defense real-time systems
  • air traffic control real-time systems.
• Parallel and Distributed Computing, taught in Fall 2008, has considerable information in the course presentation slides about associative and SIMD Computing .
• My Parallel & Associative Computing Laboratory website contains a number of topics include research papers (click on "papers" listed in the left panel).
