Abstract
This contribution describes the inner mechanisms of the so called Real-Time Interface to Simulink for Multiprocessor systems (RTIMP). RTI-MP is applied in the area of Rapid Controller Prototyping and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations, where high-end computing power is required that can not be realized on a single CPU. Typical users are control engineers who are not too familiar with the details of multiprocessor hardware, distributed real-time kernels, and parallel programming. Therefore RTI-MP is based on an intuitive graphical representation of the multiprocessor system in form of a Simulink block diagram, which is well known to control engineers. The simulation model is implemented fully automatical on a network of DEC Alpha processors and Texas Instruments C40 DSPs.
