Abstract
This paper evaluates new architectural solutions for data communication in shared memory parallel systems. These solutions enable creation of run-time reconfigurable processor clusters with very efficient inter-processor data exchange. It makes that data brought in the data cache of a processor, which enters a cluster, can be transparently intercepted by many processors in the cluster. Direct communication between processor caches is possible, which eliminates standard data transactions. The system provides simultaneous connections of processors with many memory modules that further increases the potential for parallel inter-cluster data exchange. System on chip technology is applied. Special program macro-data flow graphs enable proper structuring of program execution control, including specification of parallel execution, data cache operations, switching processors between clusters and multiple parallel reads of data on the fly. Simulation results from symbolic execution of graphs of fine grain numerical algorithms illustrate high efficiency and suitability of the proposed architecture for massively parallel fine-grain numerical computations.
