Abstract: A method for testing the completion of a command issued earlier in a multiprocessing system having a plurality of nodes. During an initialization phase, each command has been identified by a handle and a record containing the task to be performed asynchronously had been established. When a request for checking the completion of a command is issued, the pre-established record is simply checked for location of last task executed and completed. If the last or most current task is not the last task before the completion of the total command, the user application can choose to either continue the operation of command processing or permanently or temporarily abandon it.

Abstract: In a multi-processor parallel processing computer environment different communication modes are available for performing an information distribution operation (e.g., a broadcast) between processors. The technique comprises automatically selecting an optimal communications mode at operation run-time. The selection decision utilizes hardware parameters of the system (e.g., communication speed between processors) and run-time parameters (e.g., number of nodes to broadcast a message to). The communication mode selection decision seeks to optimize factors such as time required to execute or work space requirements of the distribution operation.

Abstract: An air-launched aircraft includes deployable wings, elevons, and vertical fins that deploy from a fuselage during flight. The aircraft may include a control system for operating the elevons, a communication system, and batteries for powering the systems. In addition, the aircraft may include a payload module that mates with an interface in the fuselage. The payload module may include any of a variety of payloads, including cameras, sensors, and/or radar emitters. The aircraft may be powered or unpowered, and may be very small, for example, less than on the order of 10 kg (22 pounds). The aircraft may be employed at a low cost for any of a wide variety of functions, such as surveillance, or as a decoy. The deployable surfaces of the aircraft may be configured to deploy in a pre-determined order, allowing the aircraft automatically to enter controlled flight after being launched in a tumbling mode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for distributing data in a multiprocessing system having a plurality of nodes. Each node has a user application for issuing a blocking or a non-blocking command. A request handle identifies each non-blocking command, while being set to a null value when in blocking mode. For each requested command issued by any of the user applications, a report is generated comprising of data structures, for recording the sequence of functions to be executed asynchronously given a non-blocking command. Blocking commands are processed synchronously. Once the report is generated the sequence of functions recorded in the report are executed in the sequence presented in the report. However, whenever an internal dependency is encountered the control is returned to user application until the internal dependency is resolved. Upon completion of requested command, the user application is notified.
