Abstract
Provided is a chip multi processor that supports both a packet switching method and a circuit switching method, and a router for the chip multi processor. According to an aspect, the chip multi processor includes a plurality of nodes that each include a router, and a plurality of links formed between the routers. Each of the routers may transfer a first type of data based on packet switching and a second type of data based on circuit switching.
Claims19
A chip multi processor comprising:
- a plurality of nodes each comprising at least one of a processor and a memory;
- a plurality of routers respectively connected to the plurality of nodes;
- and
- a plurality of links formed between the routers,
- wherein each router transfers a first type of data based on packet switching and a second type of data based on circuit switching.
2 more elements
A router for a chip multi processor, the router comprising:
- a first buffer configured to store a first type of data;
- a second buffer configured to store a second type of data;
- an output port determining unit configured to determine an output port through which the first type of data or the second type of data is to be output;
- an output unit configured to output the first type of data or the second type of data to the determined output port;
- and
- a controller configured to establish a dedicated link connected to the determined output port for the second type of data.
3 more elements
A chip multiprocessor, comprising:
- a plurality of processing nodes configured to process data;
- a plurality of routers configured to route data between the plurality of processing nodes during processing,
- wherein the plurality of routers selectively configure as a packet switching network and as a circuit switching network, based on the type of data to be routed.
