Abstract
Compressionless Routing (GR) is a new adaptive routing framework which provides a unified framework for efficient deadlock-free adaptive routing and fault-tolerance. CR exploits the tight-coupling between wormhole routers for flow control to detect potential deadlock situations and recover from them. Fault-tolerant Compressionless Routing (FCR) extends Compressionless Routing to support end-to-end fault-tolerant delivery. Detailed routing algorithms, implementation complexity and performance simulation results for CR and FCR are presented.CR has the following advantages: deadlock-free adaptive routing in torus networks with no virtual channels, simple router designs, order-preserving message transmission, applicability to a wide variety of network topologies, and elimination of the need for buffer allocation messages. FCR has the following advantages: tolerates transient faults while maintaining data integrity (nonstop fault-tolerance), tolerates permanent faults, can be applied to a wide variety of network topologies, and eliminates the need for software buffering and retry for reliability. These advantages of CR and FCR not only simplify hardware support for adaptive routing and fault-tolerance, they also can simplify communication software layers.
