Definitions

  • Processor platforms in a computer system must communicate with each other. This is done using communication channels through which software applications exchange messages with one another. Due to the different hardware / software functionalities of the processor platforms in a system, different communication channels between the processors are also required.
  • IPK-S interprocessor communication software
  • Processor networking in the system has so far been rigidly defined.
  • the part of the administration software that administers the communication channels between the processors in the database (this part can, for example, as device control software or device control
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device control component that avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
  • FIG. 1 shows an exemplary table on the basis of which the software controls the setting up of a system component (e.g. processor platform) with regard to channel networking.
  • a system component e.g. processor platform
  • a master processor contains the administration software and the static table.
  • the j. Channels that are used by the master processor to distribute the DB (or parts of the DB) to the other processors (load channels) are not shown. These channels are not included in the static table in FIG. 1 and are set up automatically when the system is started up for the first time.
  • Processor type (The processor type is used to differentiate between different processor platforms with different HW and / or SW functionalities)
  • Channel type (The channel type is used to differentiate different transmission characteristics: e.g. bandwidth and from it Resulting different uses (e.g. high bandwidths for loading code and data, low medium bandwidth but burst traffic for switching-related messages) and to ensure protection / security requirements: Separate communication relationships for security-related messages and switching-related messages should prevent mutual interference , so that it can be guaranteed, for example, that even failure messages from the fuse technology can be sent even with high switching loads)
  • the table in FIG. 1 can be read as follows:
  • Processor type 1 Processor type of the processor to be newly set up
  • Processor type 2 Processor type to which the processor type to be set up has a communication relationship.
  • Channel type Characterizes the communication channel to be set up between processor type and processor type 2.
  • the lines printed in bold are processed in order to then incorporate corresponding device description data (networking data), which will later be used by the local IPK-SW to set up the channels shown in dashed lines, in the DB.
  • the administration software of Proz.l is given the information about the type of processor platform to be set up, here "Type C", using the "Create Processor (Type C)" command.
  • the administration software now first looks at the row of the table in which type C occurs for the first time in the first column. This line instructs the SW about one already 5 set up type B processor to set up a type 4 channel.
  • the software uses the configuration data already available in the DB to determine the type B processor (s) that have already been set up, namely in this case process 2 and process 5, and saves the corresponding networking data in the DB based on the information in the table line (incorporation the networking data in the DB).
  • the SW looks at the next line and processes this line according to the same scheme.
  • the administration software instructs the DB management system to distribute the mentioned networking data to the DBs of the other platforms (processors) of the system. Finally, the administration software triggers the IPK software of a platform, which is then used for the
  • required settings e.g. channel bandwidth, channel identifier, channel usage
  • the network description data is first introduced into the DB, then distributed to the participating platforms and the IPK-SW receives a trigger message there that a new platform has been set up to make the necessary settings.
  • IPK-SW Interprocessor communication software

Abstract

Jusqu'à présent, toutes les modifications des canaux de communication entre des processeurs d'un système informatique exigeaient des modifications du logiciel de commande d'installation chargé de l'installation des canaux. Selon l'invention, les canaux de communication des plates-formes de processeurs sont désormais définis, pour le temps de conception, indépendamment de la configuration système et sont interprétés, pour le temps d'exploitation, par le logiciel d'installation et installés en conséquence.
