A Multi-Petascale Highly Efficient Parallel Supercomputer of 100 petaOPS-scale computing, at decreased cost, power and footprint, and that allows for a maximum packaging density of processing nodes from an interconnect point of view. The Supercomputer exploits technological advances in VLSI that enables a computing model where many processors can be integrated into a single Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each ASIC computing node comprises a system-on-chip ASIC utilizing four or more processors integrated into one die, with each having full access to all system resources and enabling adaptive partitioning of the processors to functions such as compute or messaging I/O on an application by application basis, and preferably, enable adaptive partitioning of functions in accordance with various algorithmic phases within an application, or if I/O or other processors are underutilized, then can participate in computation or communication nodes are interconnected by a five dimensional torus network with DMA that optimally maximize the throughput of packet communications between nodes and minimize latency.

摘要:
Point-to-point intra-nodelet messaging support for nodelets on a single chip that obey MPI semantics may be provided. In one aspect, a local buffering mechanism is employed that obeys standard communication protocols for the network communications between the nodelets integrated in a single chip. Sending messages from one nodelet to another nodelet on the same chip may be performed not via the network, but by exchanging messages in the point-to-point messaging buckets between the nodelets. The messaging buckets need not be part of the memory system of the nodelets. Specialized hardware controllers may be used for moving data between the nodelets and each messaging bucket, and ensuring correct operation of the network protocol.

A device for copying performance counter data includes hardware path that connects a direct memory access (DMA) unit to a plurality of hardware performance counters and a memory device. Software prepares an injection packet for the DMA unit to perform copying, while the software can perform other tasks. In one aspect, the software that prepares the injection packet runs on a processing core other than the core that gathers the hardware performance counter data.

A hierarchical barrier synchronization of cores and nodes on a multiprocessor system, in one aspect, may include providing by each of a plurality of threads on a chip, input bit signal to a respective bit in a register, in response to reaching a barrier; determining whether all of the plurality of threads reached the barrier by electrically tying bits of the register together and “AND”ing the input bit signals; determining whether only on-chip synchronization is needed or whether inter-node synchronization is needed; in response to determining that all of the plurality of threads on the chip reached the barrier, notifying the plurality of threads on the chip, if it is determined that only on-chip synchronization is needed; and after all of the plurality of threads on the chip reached the barrier, communicating the synchronization signal to outside of the chip, if it is determined that inter-node synchronization is needed.
