Description

Simple Serial Synchronized(SSS)Multistage Interconnection Network(MIN)is a novel MIN architecture for connecting processors and memory modules in multiprocessors.Synchronized bit-serial communication simplifies the structure, control,and also solves the pin-limitation problem.The simple structure allows the use of a high frequency clock rate and a high throughput network topology. An LSI implementation of the SSS-MIN has been completed. Using these chips,a multiprocessor prototype called SNAIL with 16 processors, 16 memory modules is under development,and a system with 4 processors/4 memory modules is operational.The small overhead of the SSS-MIN is demonstrated with some parallel benchmark programs.The performance enhancement mechanisms such as data prefetch and message combining are also evaluated.
