Research Abstract

Main results in the project are as follows.
1.Studies on reconfigurableinterconnection networks. A crossbar network is chosen to attain arbitrary interconnection topologies. The network allows users to match a interconnection topology to a given algorithm. The modular 128X128 crossbar network is implemented by arranging 256 identical 8X8 crossbar LSI-modules in a 16X16 matrix form. A method where the network has switching patterns is proposed to prevent any contention from occurring at run time. By employing the method, high-speedinter-processor communication can be attained.
2.Development of processing elements. Reconfigurable memory architecture is implemented. The architecture allows the system to be reconfigured as a loosely coupled multiprocessor or a tightly coupled multiprocessor.
3.Development of a reconfigurable parallel processor. Message transmission between processors is pipelined to attain high-speed inter-processor communication. A reconfigurable parallel processor which employs the above architecturesis developed.
4. Studies on dynamic load balancing scheme. Task/thread-model is chosen as a good parallel processing model in a tightly coupled multiprocessor. A load balancing scheme where processor assign a task is proposed. By using the scheme, loads in the system can be distributed between processors, and overhead during context switching can be reduced. A high-level programming language which allows users to describe parallel processing models effectively and its language processor are developed.
