A data processing apparatus includes a plurality of computation devices connected to each other by a communication path. Each of the computation devices includes: a switching section provided to each of terminals and switchable between an upper layer use state in which communication is performed by a communication section between a given terminal of a plurality of terminals and a corresponding internal path and there is no connection performed by a bypass section between a corresponding pair of the plurality of the terminals, and an upper layer non-use state in which communication is not performed by a communication section between the given terminal of the plurality of the terminals and the corresponding internal path and connection is performed by the bypass section between the corresponding pair of the plurality of the terminals.

Data processing apparatus, computation device, control method for data processing apparatus

A processor includes a plurality of nodes arranged two dimensionally in the X-axis direction and in the Y-axis direction, and each of the nodes includes a processor core and a distributed shared cache memory. The processor also includes a first connecting unit and a second connecting unit. The first connecting unit connects adjacent nodes in the X-axis direction among the nodes, in a ring shape. The second connecting unit connects adjacent nodes in the Y-axis direction among the nodes, in a ring shape. The cache memories included in the respective nodes are divided into banks in the Y-axis direction. Coherency of the cache memories in the X-axis direction is controlled by a snoop system. The cache memories are shared by the nodes.

In a blade of a blade server, power is supplied from a power distributing unit to an internal circuit, and also supplied to a capacitor to charge the capacitor. If power consumption of the blade server is high and a process load on a blade is also high, power is supplied to the internal circuit from both the power distributing unit and the capacitor. If the process load on the blade is low, power is supplied to the internal circuit only from the power distributing unit.

Power controller, server, and power control method

An interconnection network is provided with switch devices for computers for a plurality of computers, respectively, a predetermined number of physical lines for switch devices for computers are bound to form each of logical lines, the physical lines forming the logical lines interconnect the other switch devices for computer via a plurality of switch devices for relay to form a parallel computer system. When a data transmission speed required between the computers is judged to be lower than a line transmission speed determined by the number of physical lines of any switch device for relay, switch setting-off unit turns off power of the whole switch device for relay that has been judged to shut off the switch device for relay from the interconnection network.

Network management method, program, and system

A network management apparatus interconnects a plurality of computers through physical lines having a predetermined line speed to manage a switch apparatus constructing a parallel computer system. The switch apparatus comprises a plurality of physical port units to enable or disable the same through individual power supply ON/OFF control for the physical port units, thereby changing and controlling the line transmission speed according to the enable number. A logical port constructing unit in the network management apparatus bundles the physical lines by a plurality of physical port units in the switch apparatus to construct logical lines. A port control unit changes the number of operations of a plurality of physical port units assigned to the logical port units through the power supply ON/OFF control according to a necessary data transmission speed for the logical port units, thereby dynamically changing the line transmission speed.
