摘要:
A computer-implemented system (90) is provided that supports a high degree of separation between processing elements. The computer-implemented system (90) comprises a plurality of cells (92) residing on the computer-implemented system, where each cell (92) includes a domain of execution (94) and at least one processing element (96); a separation specification (99) that governs communication between the processing elements (96); and a kernel (98) of an operating system that facilitates execution of the processing elements (96) and administers the communication between the processing elements (96) in accordance with the separation specification (99), such that one processing element (96) can influence the operation of another processing element (96) only as set forth by the separation specification (99). In particular, the separation specification provides memory allocation, remote procedure calls and exception handling mechanisms.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for the selection of random values from a set of N non-sequential values includes software in ROM and RAM for information pool storage. Coupled to the ROM and RAM, a microprocessor sorts the values from smallest to largest, initializes local variables, processes a current value from a first value of the set, and compares the difference to a current information pool entry difference. A range increment is incremented if the difference equals the current information pool entry difference and a new information pool entry is created if the difference does not. The information pool is stored and random values are selected by generating a pseudo random number, constraining the pseudo random number between one and N, indexing into the information pool using the pseudo random number to create a pool entry index and generating the random value using a selected pool entry first value.
