摘要： A computing system includes plural nodes that are connected by a communications network. Each node comprises a communications interface that enables an exchange of messages with other nodes. A ready queue is maintained in a node and includes plural message entries, each message entry indicating an output message control data structure. The node further includes memory for storing plural output message control data structures, each including one or more chained further monrtol data structures that define data comprising a message or a portion of a message that is to be dispatched. Control data structures that are chained from an output messsage control data structure exhibit a sequence dependincy. A processor is controlled by the ready queue and enables dispatch of portions of the message designated by an output message control data structure and associated further control structures. The processor prevents dispatch of one portion of a message prior to dispatch of another portion of the message upon which the first portion is dependent even if message transmissions are interrupted.

摘要： A multi-nodal data processing system includes a plurality of processing nodes, each node connected to plural other nodes by bidirectional data links. Each node comprises receivers for receiving messages on bidirectional data links and transmitters for transmitting messages on bidirectional data links. Each node records child nodes to which a message was transmitted and is further adapted to transmit a lock-up message received from a child node to a parent node, the lock-up message indicating a successful establishment of a message signal path to a destination node. Each node further is adapted to transmit a link cancel signal to another node to close the link in the event of an unsuccessful message transfer attempt over the link. Each node inhibits transmission of a lock-up signal to a parent node until link cancel signals have been received from all child nodes (other than a node from which a lock-up signal was received). A source node (where a message originates) continues transmission of its message, even before a lock-up signal has been received. The destination node which originates the lock-up message terminates a bidirectional data link by an end-of-session signal when it has received an entire message.

摘要： An interconnection network comprises a pair of backplanes for receiving X pluggable node cards. The pair of backplanes include X backplane connector groups, each backplane connector group adapted to receive mating connectors from a pluggable node card. Each backplane connector group includes X/2 connectors. A first backplane includes first permanent wiring which interconnects a first subset of pairs of connectors between backplane connector groups. A second backplane includes second permanent wiring which interconnects a second subset of pairs of connectors between backplane connector groups. The first permanent wiring and second permanent wiring connect complementary subsets' of pairs of the connectors. A plurality of node cards, each including a card connector group, pluggably mate with the backplane connector groups. Each node card further includes a frontal connector that is adapted to receive a cable interconnection. Each node card includes a processor and a switch module which simultaneously connects the processor to at least plural connectors of a backplane connector group.
