Abstract
This paper describes the application of high level Petri nets to program closely coupled multiprocessor (CCMp) systems. To use CCMp systems efficiently a special language based on high level nets and Concurrent Pascal was developed which allows an easy transformation of net specifications into programs, thus preserving their modular structure. The language was expanded with common objects in order to program the access to shared data efficiently. The implementation of the language and especially the synchronization of the concurrent token players is discussed.
Most of this work was done as part of a Ph.D. thesis, which was carried out at the Rogowski Institute, Aachen Technical University, Aachen, F.R. Germany (see /Hart88/).
