Patent
·
OSTI ID:6342369
A network is described of multiprocessor systems, including: multiprocessor systems, each of the systems containing at least one processor connected to an interprocessor bus, node interfaces, each connected to a respective one of the interprocessor busses. Each of the node interfaces has at least one data link connecting it to at least one other node interface such that all of the node interfaces are characterized by the property of global connectivity; a buffer memory in each of the node interfaces; control means in each of the node interfaces; and means, in each of the control means, for determining how many of the storage locations in a group of storage locations (in the buffer memory in its node interface) corresponding to a particular destination processor are full.
