MODULE TYPE CROSSBAR INTERCONNECTED NETWORK PERFORMING DATA TRANSACTION BETWEEN SYSTEM UNITS IN MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: To transfer data between a source node and a destination node by efficiently forming a data transaction linkage between system units through the use of a multiprocessor system. CONSTITUTION: The multiprocessor system shown in the figure processes efficient communication between the system units linked through SCU 18 and a main memory 16, that is efficient communication between with each system CPU 12, each system I/O unit 14 and a segment capable of addressing each of constituting each memory unit 16A and 16B in detail, through a private interface means 24. The specific method of interfacing the specific constitution and SCU of the main memory to a memory is not important. Each memory unit 16A and 16B of the main memory 16 is provided with a corresponding memory port at SCU to link each port with the segment capable of addressing to each of different pair interleaved to a block boundary.
