Title: Bong Wan Kim and Virtual-Bus Distributed Computing

Introduction

Bong Wan Kim is an inventor associated with Jeju, South Korea, and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. His work includes a distributed computing system designed to enable high-speed communication between processors.

Latest Patents

Kim is credited with 1 patent: “Distributed Computing System Using Virtual Buses and Data Communication Method for the Same.” The invention uses point-to-point routers, called “virtual buses,” to connect processors in one- or two-dimensional arrays, with the approach also applicable to arrays of higher dimensions.

Communication takes place in two phases. First, a setup message establishes a path between the source and destination processors and configures intermediate routers to relay messages without interruption. Then, messages travel along the established path without further intervention from those intermediate routers, supporting fast processor-to-processor communication.

Career Highlights

Kim’s listed institutional affiliation is the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. His patent describes a routing method intended to make communication across distributed processor arrays more efficient.

Collaborations

Kyu Ho Park and Jong Hyuk Choi are identified as Kim’s coworkers.

Conclusion

Bong Wan Kim’s patent presents a virtual-bus architecture that establishes communication paths in advance, allowing messages to pass efficiently between processors in distributed computing systems.
