โฆ Synopsis
The problems of providing fast response to user actions in a small satellite graphics processor attached to a timesharcd back-up computer are discussed, and a method is proposed which allows local responses to be specified by means of a state diagram description of the interactive process. This description is held on backing-store on the back-up machine and passed to the satellite at run-time under control of the applications program. Examples are given and the advantages of the method discussed.

The fast multipole method allows the rapid approximate evaluation of sums of radial basis functions. For a specified accuracy, , the method scales as OรฐNร in both time and memory compared to the direct method with complexity OรฐN 2 ร, which allows the solution of larger problems with given resources.
