Title
Node processor for a parallel object-oriented total architecture A-NET
Abstract
A node processor for a highly parallel computer based on a parallel object-oriented computational model has been developed. The node processor consists of a PE for the execution of methods and a router for the control of message communication. The prototype PE has a high-level instruction set that includes message sending and receiving instructions. It also supports both tagged data structure as a synchronization mechanism and dynamic data typing. The special hardware unit for tag processing achieves a speed up of about 44 percent for an add instruction. The router has been designed as independent to network-topology. It takes approximately 5.2 mu s to transfer a 35-byte message to an adjacent node. Message transfers over multiple nodes take approximately 1.0 mu s per hop.
