A parallel processor system which includes a plurality of processors each for executing at least one of a plurality of mutually associated programs and a transfer circuit. The transfer circuit is connected to the processors, and is provided for transferring the data outputted from any one of the programs during execution of one program by any one of the processors to other processors to which a receiving program is allotted. The transfer operation is performed in response to a program identification code outputted during execution of the one program by one processor to identify the receiving program.

A computer implemented logic simulation method, for inspecting logical operations of large scale logic circuits, computes a variation of an output of at least one latch in a clock synchronized logic circuit. The clock-synchronized logic circuit contains a combination logic circuit and a plurality of logic gates. Each of the logic gates have at least one input signal and several other inputs connected to clocking signal sources of different phases. The latch is activated by the rise or fall of the clock signals for holding the output from the combination logic circuit. The method thus implements sampling instants of the output for ascertaining the logical operations of the large scale circuits.

A computer system having a plurality of processors assigned first and second address portions are connected to a plurality of switch circuits. A first group transfer networks are connected to a corresponding first group of the plurality of switch circuits. Each of the transfer networks concurrently transfer data among the switch circuits. The switch circuits are provided to processors of a first kind arranged in a plurality of processor groups. The processor groups of the first kind include processors with different values for first address portions and the same value for second address portions. Additional transfer networks, processors and switches functioning in a similar manner are provided to expand the above system. In another embodiment of the present invention a data transfer network is provided having a plurality of processors for data transfer. The network includes a plurality of multistage switches each belonging to one of plural stages and connected to the switches of a preceding stage and to switches of the succeeding stage. Each of the switches are arranged to receive packets from a preceding switch. A packet includes a target process address and data to be transferred. A path select device is connected to receive packets and is also connected to plural switches belonging to a next stage for the transfer of the received partial addresses and partial data. A control device is connected to receive the partial addresses and partial data and is responsive to a predetermined bit within the received partial addresses. The control means is responsive to the arrival of the first partial address of the packet.

In a vector processor having vector registers, a vector buffer storage for temporarily storing vector data is arranged closer to the vector registers than to a main storage, and a vector buffer storage control including an identification storage for storing identification information of the vector data stored at storage locations of the buffer storage and a check circuit for checking if the vector data identification information is in the identificatgion storage is provided. The vector buffer storage control checks if the identification information of the vector data designated by a vector data fetch instruction for the main storage is in the indentification storage, and if it is in the identification storage, it fetches the vector data from the buffer storage and transfers it to the vector register, and if it is not in the identification storage, it instructs to fetch the vector data from the main storage, transfers the vector data fetched from the main storage to the vector register and stores it into the buffer storage.

In a processor such as a vector processor in which a plurality of data are processed by one instruction and a plurality of instructions are parallely processed, apparatus is provided for storing, during an interruption of the program currently being executed, the instructions being executed in the conceptual order of appearance in the program of the instruction being executed, and the sequential count of the sets of data processed. The stored information is used to restart the execution of the interrupted program at the appropriate point.
摘要:
In a storage control apparatus only vector elements indicated as write data by a corresponding mask information among the vector elements stored in a storage device are stored to the pertinent memory locations of a desired vector register in the vector processor based on the mask information which indicates whether or not the write operation is required (for example, "1" indicates that the write operation is necessary and "0" indicates that the write operation is unnecessary). When the mask information indicates that the write operation is not required, the storage control apparatus controls operations to prevent the memory bank of the main storage from being set to the busy state, thereby eliminating the memory bank conflict which should not take place in accordance with the intrinsic system characteristics.

A parallel processor system includes a transfer circuit and a plurality of processors each of which executes at least one of a plurality of mutually associated programs. The transfer circuit transfers data from a sending program allotted to one processor to a receiving program allotted to another processor by identifying the other processor and the receiving program based on a job number and within-job process number outputted by the sending program.

A parallel processor system having a plurality of processor elements includes transfer information generation circuit for generating transfer information by adding to vector data a data identifier for the vector data and a destination processor element number, transmission circuit for sending the transfer information to a data communication path, receive circuit for holding the transfer information sent from the data communication path, and vector register for continuously reading related element data from the receive circuit based on the data identifiers generated by the transfer information generation circuit.
摘要:
A parallel computer system includes a plurality of processors, each of which is placed in data communication with an interconnecting network. Pairs of a data signal and a data identification code, predetermined for the data signal, are received by each processor and stored in a memory. Structure is provided for reading a data signal belonging to one of the pairs having a data identification code designated by a data readout instruction.
