Prototyping HTMT Execution Model Using Petri Nets

摘要

The Hybrid Technology Multithreaded (HTMT) architecture is a new supercomputer design project which is attempting to build a highly concurrent machine using novel technology and advances in computer architecture and software to achieve a petaflop. This paper defines the structure of the HTMT prototype, explains the HTMT execution process, a prototype model that was created to study the functional flow, and gives a short overview of modeling of the prototype using the Petri net model. We explain how it is different from previous approaches, and how we can express key HTMT concepts using Petri net features.
