  • the computer system further comprises an intercommunication circuit connected to all of the processors, wherein the intercommunication circuit provides any requesting one of the processors with direct access to resources which may be associated with another selected one of the processors.
  • Each processor has a local bus which connects the processor to its associated resources, which resources may be memory devices, I/O ports, serial communication devices, etc.
  • Each processor also has memory management circuitry, interrupt systems and the other standard elements which are normally associated witn a processor.
  • the multiprocessor computer system operates in this environment by using a global bus to interconnect all the processors in the system.
  • Each processor generates a virtual address when requesting access to a resource and the memory management circuit associated with the processor translates this virtual address into an actual hardware resource address. If the resource requested is associated with another processor, the processor interconnection system directly connects the requesting processor, via the global bus, to the local bus to which the resource requested is connected. Thus, each processor can directly access all resources in this multiprocessing environment.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the preferred embodiment of the processor interconnection system in block diagram form
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the details of a typical Processor-Memory-Interface Module shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate typical applications of the subject system. Detailed Description
  • the disclosed invention comprises a processor interconnection system which can be used to build a multiprocessor computer system from a number of independent or quasi-independent processor-based modules.
  • Each module contains a local data bus that connects the processor to its associated memory and various interface circuits.
  • Each such processor-memory-interface (PMI) module therefore, will be a small computer in its own right.
  • the subject processor interconnection system serves to combine a multitude of these small computers to form an efficient multiprocessing environment.
  • Such a system is shown in FIG. 1, and includes a priority arbiter module 101, a packet switch network 105, and a number (n) of PMIs (102-1 to 102-n).
  • a global data bus 106 interconnects the several PMIs.
  • the priority arbiter 101 controls access to global data bus 106 and resolves priority of access to global data bus 106 among the PMIs according to any of several conventional formulae.
  • the packet switch network 105 serves as an interface between any pair of serial data links including those from outside of tne system as well as those within the PMIs.
  • Central to the invention is the PMI module which is shown in detail in FIG. 2.
  • Each PMI assembly includes a processor 209-1, global bus access circuits 202-1 to 204-1, 208-1, 215-1 accessible local resources 205-1, 205-1, 207-1, and a local data bus 214-1 which connects local resources 205-1 to 207-1 to global bus 213 via bus connect circuit 202-1 or to processor 209-1 via local buffer 216-1 and memory management circuit 208-1. Only a real time clock 212-1 and an interrupt system 210-1 are dedicated solely to processor 209-1 and, therefore, these circuits are not connected to either bus.
  • the global access circuitry within each assembly include a memory management circuit 208-1, bus connection circuit 202-1, and local and global bus arbiters 204-1, 203-1.
  • each assembly includes one or more memory modules 205-1, one or more parallel input/output ports 206-1, and one or more serial communication interfaces 207-1.
  • Both local and global busses 213 and 214-1 are considered, for illustrative purposes, to carry parallel data.
  • Bus Selection is the function of the memory management module 208-1 which works as follows. When seeking information, processor 209-1 requests the contents of a virtual memory address. The memory management module 208-1 consults an internal address mapping memory which may be realized by either Read Only Memory (ROM) or Random Access Memory (RAM). whether its contents are fixed or dynamically loaded, however, each mapping memory holds translations of virtual memory addresses to physical memory addresses. Using these data, the memory management circuit 208-1 can accept a virtual memory address from its dedicated processor 209-1 and thereby access the physical memory address sought.
  • ROM Read Only Memory
  • RAM Random Access Memory
  • Each processor 209-1 normally executes software instructions located in its local memory 205-1, but it can access software instructions in any of the memory modules in tne system. So data called for by dedicated processor 209-1 outputting a virtual memory address may be either in the local memory 205-1 or in a remote memory 205-i which is its opposite number in another (i th ) PMI module 202-i.
  • the first step taken by the local memory management circuitry 208-1 is to find the physical address in its mapping memory that is the translation of the requested virtual memory address. If the physical address is in the local memory 205-1, memory management 208-1 signals the local/remote arbiter 204-1 via lead SELECT that the processor 209-1 needs access to the local bus 214-1.
  • the local/global selection line, lead SELECT, from memory management 208-1 to the global arbiter 203-1 and the local/renote arbiter 204-1 carries only a single bit, so one or the other is always selected and a change of state calls for a change of bus access.
  • the local/remote arbiter 204-1 enables the local buffer 216-1, thereby connecting processor 209-1 to the local bus 214-1 by way of memory management 208-1.
  • memory management 208-1 signals global arbiter 203-1 via lead SELECT that processor 209-1 needs access to global bus 213.
  • the global arbiter 203-1 then notifies the priority arbiter 201 via lead REQUEST-1.
  • the priority arbiter 201 only decides which of several competing PMIs will get the global bus 213 at a given time. When access to the global bus 213 is granted by the priority arbiter 201, priority arbiter 201 transmits a bus access signal to global arbiter 203-1.
  • the global arbiter 203-1 In response to this bus access signal, the global arbiter 203-1 enables the global Duffer 215 via lead CONTROL G to connect memory management 208-1 to the global bus. Memory management 208-1 then requests the resources of the remote PMI 202-i by placing the hardware address on leads DATA G, which address is placed on global bus 213 by global buffer 215-1.
  • the local/remote arbiter 204-1 receives any request for access from the global bus 213. If the addressed local bus 214-i is free, the local/remote arbiter 204-i immediately grants access. If the local bus 214-i is busy, access is denied until it is free. The local/remote arbiter 2C4-i then grants access to the processor with the highest priority. Any processor can lock the bus it is currently using until completion of a semaphore operation. Alternate Communication Methods
  • each processor 209-1 has two other communication means. These are the serial communication interface 207-1 and parallel data input/output port 206-1, means that are known to the art and are included here to complete the illustration of this invention.
  • Each local serial communication interface 207-1 connects to a packet switch network 211 which in turn distributes serial data to external serial links and to other serial communication interface modules opposite numbers of 207-1 systemwide.
  • the parallel input/output ports 206-1 the processors can control widely diverse peripheral devices.
  • the several serial communications interfaces 207-1 combined with the packet switch network 211 comprise a serial data communication subsystem
  • the input/output ports 206-1 combined with the dual bus system comprise a parallel data communication subsystem.
  • FIG. 3 shows a system composed of a number (n) of PMIs.
  • the illustrated PMIs are connected to function in several ways.
  • One PMI 301 of FIG. 3 connects the system to any of several kinds of system or network: a processor network 308 is the example given in FIG. 3.
  • Another PMI 302 joins a terminal 305 to the system for the operator's use.
  • the program in the memory of PMI 302 arranges the output of the terminal so that it can communicate in the language of the PMIs, thus creating a virtual terminal for system use. So given a programmable memory, PMI 302 would make it possible for the system to use a wide variety of terminals with no change of hardware.
  • the third PMI 303 of FIG. 3 is shown controlling a small set of telephones 306 and the associated telephone switching network 309.
  • PMI 30n is depicted as an interface between the system and a mass storage unit 307, such as a disc or tape drive.
  • each PMI Since each local processor has dedicated I/O and memory, each PMI amounts to a separate computer and can execute an operating system program. Each PMI also includes a dedicated real time clock and interrupt system connected to the processor so that PMIs can be operated in logical parallelism. Because of the speed of the subject dual bus system, this distributed computer system compares quite favorably with a centrally operated system.
  • An operation can be performed by a system such as the subject system regardless of the limitations of any given component processor. Assume, for example, that a function were called for by the operator of terminal 305. PMI 302 would then use the subject dual bus system to call for the required program from mass storage unit 307. According to a protocol given in the program, PMI 302 might send subroutines to the memory modules of several other PMIs according to the computing power available to each and regardless of their nominal functions. Finally, PMI 302 might order subroutines and supply data as needed until the requested function is performed. Description of an Alternate Application
  • FIG. 4 reveals a Private Branch Exchange PBX telephone system organized as taught by the subject invention.
  • This embodiment comprises switching network 404 and port circuits 406, 407 controlled by a network PMI 403 and scanner PMIs 405, 409 supplemented by feature processing PMI 401, console 402, mass storage devices 412, mass storage control PMI 411 and a maintenance PMI 413.
  • Each PMI in this system would be configured as illustrated in FIG. 2 wherein each PMI has a local bus 214-i, processor 209-i, etc.
  • PMI e.g. 405 for such signals as "off-hook or on-hook" from its associated telephones e.g. 408-1 in response to which it can connect or disconnect them from the ports by use of port selection means within the port circuits e.g. 406.
  • a scanner PMI 405 or 409 can then use the dual bus system comprising busses 400 and 214-i (wherein 214-i is the local bus of the scanner) to find from the feature PMI 401 what privileges are assigned to a calling telephone, for example, whether it is allowed to call long distance. Dialing signals into the switching network 404 from the port circuits 406 or 407 are interpreted by the network PMI 403 and used as data on which to base connection from the calling port to the addressed port.
  • the dual bus system may be used by the network PMI 403 to determine from the feature PMI 401 what privileges accrue to the telephone being called. Requests for data beyond that contained in the memories of the several PMIs are referred to the mass storage device 412 by way of the dual bus system and the mass store control PMI 411. Because it interacts with all system components, a description of maintenance PMI 413 operation -will be used to illustrate how the subject embodiment works. In the course of ordinary system operation, maintenance PMI 413 constantly monitors the global bus 213 for commands and responses among the system PMIs. Within PMI 413, these messages are routed through bus connect 202-1 (see FIG. 2) and memory management 208-1 to the processor 209-1.
  • Processor 209-1 compares these command/response sets read from the global bus to master patterns in memory 205-1. If the messages from the global bus match these ideal patterns, the system is known to be working. Besides these online test routines, the maintenance PMI 413 can interrupt system operation for offline routines.
  • a programmed schedule for example, it can transmit commands on the global bus 213 to the other PMIs. These commands are transmitted by the means described in the paragraphs on bus selection. Then maintenance PMI 413 can compare the response to these commands to master patterns stored in its memory 205-1. It can also perform any or all of these offline system tests upon orders entered by an operator on system console 402.
  • maintenance PMI 413 In case of an apparent malfunction, therefore, tne operator can invoke the resources of maintenance PMI 413.
  • a command is routed from the operator's console 402 through feature PMI 401 and the dual bus structure to maintenance PMI 413.
  • maintenance PMI 413 selects appropriate tests according to a test procedure in its internal memory and applies them to the system as described above.
  • the maintenance processor 209-1 analyzes the errata to determine the source of the malfunction. It then searches mass storage device 412 by way of mass store control PMI 411 and the dual bus structure for a program designed to deal with the bad component.
  • maintenance PMI 413 might isolate defective processor 209-i (see FIG. 2) by instructing memory management module 208-i to pass no data from defective processor 209-i to either bus. Maintenance PMI
  • the 413 might then distribute scanning duties among the remaining PMIs according to their capacities.
  • the substitute PMIs would use the global data bus 213 both to access data from scanner 409's memory 205-i and to command the port circuits 407 via scanner 409's internal input/output port 206-i.

Abstract

Des systemes de multiprocesseurs de l'art anterieur utilisent soit un seul ensemble de ressources communes qui sont partagees par tous les processeurs, soit une pluralite de ressources, chacune d'elles etant reservee a un processeur particulier. Dans cette seconde situation, des liaisons d'intercommunication en serie necessitant a la fois la participation des processeurs de transmission et de reception sont utilisees pour transmettre des donnees entre les processeurs. Le systeme d'interconnexion de processeurs en question etablit la connexion de n processeurs independants entre eux (209-1 a 209-n), chacun d'eux etant associe a une pluralite de ressources (205-i a 207-i) lesquelles ressources sont connectees au processeur par un bus local (214-1 a 214-n), de telle sorte que tout processeur du systeme ait acces direct a toute ressource du systeme meme si une telle ressource est associee a un autre processeur.
