Abstract

Das parimod-System, welches als Abkürzung für “The Parallel Computer graphics and interactive solid modeling system” steht, verbindet in bisher einzigartiger Weise die Gebiete der parallelen Algorithmen bzw. Multiprozessor-Systeme und der Computergraphik miteinander. Es besteht aus einzelnen Modulen, die seit 1991 an der Universität Osnabrück entwickelt wurden. Intention dieser Entwicklung war es, die Flexibilität und die universelle Ersetzbarkeit von Transputer-Systemen anhand verschiedener Anwendungen aus der Computergraphik zu verdeutlichen. Entstanden ist dabei ein transputerbasiertes graphisches System zur schnellen und interaktiven Erstellung, Berechnung und Anzeige bzw. Animation von dreidimensionalen Szenen.
