Cider Seminar Series
An Expandable Fault Tolerant Multiprocessor
Architecture
By Steve Germann
Room GB 221
Time: 12:05
Date: Friday, Nov. 1st, 1985
Abstract
A high-speed local area network interconnects
processor-memory pairs to provide a means of
implementing a pseudo-shared memory interface.
One possible configuration is that of a
cylindrical banyan network, with the outputs
folded back to the inputs, and all 2 by 2
switches replaced by combination switching
elements and processor/memory pairs. Network
configuration, and its effects on fault
tolerance will be considered. The effects of
various architectural choices on the types of
application programs that run well on the
machine will also be discussed.
