A transmission circuit of a transmission device transmits a signal to a reception circuit of a reception device via a plurality of signal paths included in a communication line. A first interface circuit is connected to the transmission circuit and one or more signal paths. A second interface circuit is connected to the transmission circuit and remaining signal paths expect for the one or more signal paths. A third interface circuit is connected to the reception circuit and the one or more signal paths. A fourth interface circuit is connected to the reception circuit and the remaining signal paths. An operation for transmitting and receiving the signal via the plurality of signal paths is changed to an operation for transmitting and receiving the signal via the remaining signal paths when the one or more signal paths enter a disconnected state.

Provided is a device for issuing a synchronization message in a large-scaled computing system including an interconnect and a plurality of computing devices that is connected to the interconnect. The interconnect includes a plurality of switches that is connected to each other. The device sends a synchronization message for synchronizing computing processes on the computing devices to all the computing devices at same timing via the switches that are directly connected to any of the computing devices by using a protocol for a general-purpose interconnect.

Method, device, and system for issuing synchronization message

A node-to-node synchronizing apparatus includes an information generating unit. Before receiving a synchronization request for synchronization, the information generating unit receives, from each process in each computing node, a mask generation request requesting to generate process location information (mask) indicating the location of processes that participate in synchronization. The information generating unit then automatically generates the process location information based on the mask generation request.

The present invention is a data transfer device, which comprises an input/output reception buffer, an input/output transmission buffer, a write data buffer, a read data buffer, a control information table, a write data storing process section, a write data transmission section, a read data buffer storing process section, an input/output transmission buffer storing process section and a control section that executes an access control for controlling the access to the memory by the write data transmission section and the read data buffer storing process section based on a control information table; thereby, a configuration optimum for both protocols of the memory bus and the input/output bus is obtained and the out-of-order execution is also achievable.

Data transfer device for transferring data to and from memory via a bus

The present invention relates to a storage device which receives input of data of arbitrary data length, stores the data, and outputs the stored data in order of input. It provides a storage device capable of unloading data of arbitrary data length from data areas quickly. The storage device is equipped with a start position pointer which additionally stores the write position before the change each time a write position memorized by a write pointer is changed due to data input. When areas are freed, new read positions are determined based on saved write positions and the number of data items to be unloaded.

A signal phase adjustment circuit to set an optimum phase by adjusting the difference in delay times between signal lines even when the distribution of the amount of phase modification that can be received normally is divided into a plurality of continuous regions. The amount of phase modification of the transmitted signal is allowed to fluctuate during one cycle of the operational frequency of the circuit. Determination of whether or not the reception signal during this interval can be received is continued, and the distribution of amount of phase modification that can be normally received is detected. The detected amount of phase modification defines continuous regions, and an optimum phase region is specified by selecting a region having a width of a specified value or more or the region having the greatest width. The optimum amount of sampling phase modification is determined from the upper and lower limit values of this region.
