System Overview
Highly parallel vector supercomputer system
1. consisting of 640 processor nodes (PN)
2. Interconnection network (IN)
The physical system is composed of • 320 PN cabinets, each containing 2
processor nodes• 65 IN cabinets contain the interconnection
network

Processor Node (PN)
Shared memory parallel vector supercomputer
Every node contains 8 arithmetic processors (AP). a main memory system (MS).

Interconnection Network
A huge 640*640 crossbar switch Divided into a control unit and 128 data s
witch units

Interconnection Network
No supervisor exists in the interconnection network. The control unit and the 128 data switch units operate asynchronously.

Interconnection Network
Error Occurrence Rate Problem
83,200 pairs of serial transmissions are used for realizing the aggregate switching capacity, 130 pairs are used for connecting processor node and interconnection network
ECC codes are added to the transfer data

Interconnection Network
To realize the high-speed parallel processing synchronization
1. Global Barrier Counter (GBC)
2. Global Barrier Flag (GBF)

OS Managment
Super Cluster System
640 PNs grouped into 40 clusters A supervisor called Super-Cluster control
station(SCCS) manages all clusters Every cluster has it’s own cluster control s
tation(CCS)
