Control of a Partitionable Multimicroprocessor System

چکیده
A dynamically reconfigurable large-scale multimicroprocessor system capable of operating as one or more independent SIMD (single instruction stream multiple data stream) machines and/or MIMD (multiple instruction stream multiple data stream) machines is described. The system consists of a Parallel Computation Unit, which contains N processors, N memory modules, and an interconnection network; Q Micro Controllers, each controlling N/Q processors; a Memory Management System, to load the N memory modules; and a System Control Unit, to coordinate the other system components. The way in which the Micro Controllers can form varying size groups of processors in this partitionable SIMD/MIMD environment is discussed.

The design of a multimicroprocessor system for image processing and pattern recognition applications utilizing the 16-bit Motorola MC68000 and other off-the-shelf components is described. This system can be dynamically reconfigured to operate in either SIMD or MIMD mode and can be used as a building block for the PASM partitionable SIMD/MIMD machine. The results of simulations of SIMD operation...
متن کاملA "Generalized k-Tree-Based Model to Sub-system Allocation" for Partitionable Multi-dimensional Mesh-Connected Architectures
This paper presents a new processor allocation approach called “a generalized k-Tree-based model” to perform dynamic sub-system allocation/deallocation decision for partitionable multi-dimensional mesh-connected architectures. Time complexity of our generalized k-tree-based sub-system allocation algorithm is O(k42k(NA+NF)+k 2) for the partitionable k-D meshes and O(NA+NF) for the partitionable ...
متن کاملPartitionable Mobile File System over Ad-Hoc Networks
Most peer-to-peer file storage sharing systems work on wired networks. Due to the multi-hop wireless communication nature in ad-hoc networks, the development of mobile ad-hoc network file storage sharing system faces many challenges. In this paper, a hypothetical partitionable mobile file system (PMFS) is proposed. This new PMFS is a distributed file storing/sharing system built on partitionabl...

Instrumentation has been developed to acquire and record performance data for analysis of Navy communications systems. The existing two basic models are modular, multimicroprocessor-based systems using state-of-the-art devices. They were designed to collect, process, and record performance data automatically (i.e., with little or no operator intervention). One is designed as a shipborne system,...
