Distributed processing multiple state logic reduction[edit]
Does there exist a method to reduce multiple state logic equations within a distributed processing environment? Clem 03:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Can you expain why this method would not work for each state? Quine-McCluskey_algorithm?
- Perhaps in referring to distributed processing envrionments, you looking for syncrincation primivives that would allow you to condense results? I would think that divide and conqure method. i.e. divide the problem into a set of states, and feed those states into a given number of processors, and condense the results based upon a calculated measure. Since this type of problem is NP-complete, that is, it will not scale in polonomial time, it behoves you to use distrubuted processing to solve problems of this sort.
