Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the present invention is described in detail.
The design architecture of multiprocessing computer system is described with 8 road multiprocessor servers systems 100 based on the SUMO framework of the Opteron of AMD chip as shown in Figure 1.Because 3 HT hyperthread buses that the Opteron processor is integrated, each Opteron processor can connect 3 other Opteron processors at most, thus can derive more complicated multicomputer system according to the SUMO framework,
The present multicomputer system of describing with interference networks such as Fig. 2 200 is as the preferred embodiments of the present invention.As shown in Figure 2, node is represented processor, and link between processors is then represented on the limit, and definition processor A is packet inlet in the multiprocessor interconnecting network (can have a plurality of data inlets).Be connected with adjacent processor by the HT bus between the processor, and the routine weight value of adjacent processor equal (being 1), every HT bus of processor all comprises a transmit port and receiving port.
The method that the present invention proposes the multiprocessor interconnecting network detection is achieved as follows:
As shown in Figure 3, system before transmission of data packets between the processor, at first to finish the detection of interference networks, mainly finish: set up syntople (step 301), synchronization link status data (step 302) between the processor by two steps.
Data packets for transmission mainly contains between the processor:
1) Hello packet.Can set up syntople by sending out the Hello packet mutually between the processor, wherein all comprise a neighbor list in each Hello packet.
2) Link State packet (L-S packet).Can be between the processor by sending out the Link State data that the L-S packet is described interconnection network topological structure synchronously mutually.
3) confirm packet.After processor is received the L-S packet, and after finishing the Link State data sync, send and confirm that packet is as replying.
Below will be described in detail these two steps.
As shown in Figure 4, set up syntople by mutual transmission Hello packet between the processor, concrete steps are as follows:
1) each processor periodically sends Hello packet (step 401) to adjacent processor by transmit port, receives Hello packet (step 403) by receiving port simultaneously.
2) in the Hello packet, comprise a neighbor list, when processor receives the Hello packet that adjacent processor is sent, the adjacent processor that then will send this Hello packet is added into (step 405) among the neighbor list of the Hello packet that oneself will send.
3) when " seeing " in the neighbor list in the Hello packet that processor is receiving arrives oneself (step 406), then successfully set up syntople two-way communication (step 408).
4), think that then this syntople sets up failure (step 407) if within a scheduled time, do not receive the Hello packet (step 402) that adjacent processor sends.
After setting up syntople between the processor, each processor is all safeguarded Link State data of describing interconnection network topological structure.The Link State data that processor refreshes self by exchanging chain line state packet (L-S packet) are to reach synchronous purpose.
Fig. 5 has described the workflow of transmit port and receiving port on the single link of processor, and then the flow process of other links is also identical therewith.Its step is as follows:
1) at the transmit port of link, processor sends L-S packet (step 501) to adjacent processor, and the wait acknowledge packet.
2) at the receiving port of link, processor receives (step 503) behind the L-S packet that adjacent processor sends on this link, checks the Link State data data (step 504) of oneself.If do not comprise this link in the Link State data, then add this link (step 505), and transmission affirmation packet is finished (step 502) to show to refresh; If comprised this link in the Link State data, then directly send and confirm packet.
3) processor is received the affirmation packet, then stops to send L-S packet (step 507) to this adjacent processor; As do not receive and confirm then to resend the L-S packet by packet (step 506) through after the scheduled time.
4) refresh the data of oneself if add linking status behind the L-S packet that receives adjacent processor on this link, then the adjacent processor to other links of this processor starts transmission L-S packet (step 508).
5) finish syntople when all processors and set up, then the Link State data of all processors are also just synchronous.
Realize effective transmission of packet between the processor, can also carry out the selection of transmission path, mainly realize by calculating shortest path tree (step 303).Specific implementation is as follows:
After the Link State data of processor were finished synchronously, the Link State data after all processor utilizations synchronously adopted shortest path first oneself being that root node calculates routing table separately.This routing table comprises the purpose processor that this processor can arrive and arrives the next processor that this purpose processor will be transmitted.As being source node with the processor A, the routing topology figure that calculates as shown in Figure 6.
The algorithm of above-mentioned shortest path, the most frequently used is dijkstra's algorithm, still, equally also can adopt and include but not limited to A *Algorithm, the SPFA algorithm, bellman-ford algorithm, the Floyd-Warshall algorithm, Johnson algorithms etc. are at the algorithm of interior any shortest path, and above-mentioned algorithm all can satisfy goal of the invention.
Data packet transmission (step 304), when the routing table of all processors generations oneself, then packet can be that source node is to other random processor transmission with the packet inlet then.After processor receives packet, resolve its purpose processor and search local routing table, the next processor of transmitting with decision, thus guarantee that packet is with the shortest path processor that achieves the goal.
Be the preferred embodiments of the present invention only below, be not limited to the present invention, for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and variation.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
