Application of parallel algorithms to control

With scale-up and complication of the problems in engineering and technology, control theories are required to meet higher and higher demands. The rapid development of computer technology, especially the parallelization trend, provides new opportunities to the development of control theories. The paper discusses the necessity and prospective of the application of parallel algorithms to control, and illustrates the influence of parallel algorithms on control with the parallel algorithm of the solution to the inverse dynamics problem of six-DOF platform parallel manipulators.
