ABSTRACT:
A system that determines whether a multi-processor operation is possible without data set expansion by comparing the size of the data sets and the position of elements of the data sets, the sampling frequency of the data sets and the amount of overlap of the data sets among the processors. If all of the conditions are not met the operation cannot proceed. If the last condition only is not met, the size of the overlap necessary to allow the operation to proceed can be determined. If sufficient memory space for the expansion of the subsets by exchanging the needed elements is available, the operation can proceed after the communication of the data sets among the processors in accordance with the required expansion.
