Die Studienarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Entwurf eines PC-gestützten Prozesssteuermoduls für eine Atomlagenabscheideanlage. Der erste Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Übergangslösung, einem 4-stelligen Abwärtszähler an der alten Prozesssteuereinheit. Im zweiten Teil wird die Neuentwicklung dargestellt, von der Spezifikation über den Schaltungsentwurf bis zur Programmierung der Software. / This student research project is about a PC-based process controller designed for an atomic layer deposition equipment. The first part of the document describes the temporary solution, a 4-digit down counter connected to the old process controller. The second part presents the newly developed controller: the specification, circuit design and software programming.

The purpose of this paper is to supply a summary of library subroutines and functions for parallel MIMD computers. The subroutines have been developed and continously extended at the University of Chemnitz since the end of the eighties. In detail, they are concerned with vector operations, inter-processor communication and simple graphic output to workstations. One of the most valuable features is the machine-independence of the communication subroutines proposed in this paper for a hypercube topology of the parallel processors (excepting a kernel of only two primitive system-dependend operations). They were implemented and tested for different hardware and operating systems including PARIX for transputers and PowerPC, nCube, PVM, MPI. The vector subroutines are optimized by the use of C language and unrolled loops (BLAS1-like). Hardware-optimized BLAS1 routines may be integrated. The paper includes hints for programmers how to use the libraries with both Fortran and C programs.
