| summary |
The concept of the virtual computer is one of the most significant ideas to emerge in the field of
computing. Computational models of architectural design, including state models and process
models, have been based in the past on the von Neumann model of computer systems. Von
Neumann systems are characterized by stored programs and data, and sequential processing
on a single processor. The concept of the virtual computer enables us to break away from the
von Neumann model in the representation of architectural design. Virtual computers can now be
used to represent architectural design using concepts of parallel or networked systems. One of
the limitations of modeling architectural design processes on the computer has been the
representation of the processes as serial processes. Virtual computers can eliminate that
bottleneck. This paper introduces the concept of representing architectural design using virtual
computers. The application of the concept in an auditorium design system developed by the
author is briefly examined. |
