Abstract
A transmitting circuit splits data to be transmitted into a number of pieces of smaller data, generating packets each used for containing one of the pieces of smaller data with an amount determined by the size of the packet and adding information to a header of each of the packets prior to transmission of the packet to a receiving circuit. Each time the receiving circuit receives any of the packets, the receiving circuit uses the information included in header of the packet to determine whether the packet has been received normally.
Claims12
A parallel processor having a plurality of nodes connected to each other by a network, said parallel processor comprising:
- a transmitting circuit for generating packets and transmitting said packets;
- and
- a receiving circuit for determining whether each of said packets is normally received,
- wherein each of said packets:
- contains split data obtained as a result of splitting original data of a predetermined amount;
- and
- includes information used by said receiving circuit for verifying normal reception of said packet.
A parallel processor having a plurality of nodes connected to each other by a network, said parallel processor comprising:
- a first means for generating packets and transmitting said packets;
- and
- a second means for determining whether each of said packets is normally received,
- wherein each of said packets:
- contains a piece of split data obtained as a result of splitting original data of a predetermined amount;
- and
- includes information used by said second means for verifying normal reception of said packet.
A parallel processing method adopted by a parallel processor having a plurality of nodes connected to each other by a network, said parallel processing method comprising the steps of:
- generating packets and transmitting said packets;
- and
- determining whether each of said packets is normally received,
- wherein each of said packets:
- contains a piece of split data obtained as a result of splitting original data of a predetermined amount;
- and
- has a header including information used for verifying normal reception of said packet.
