Buses and Crossbars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bus: A bus is a shared interconnect used for connecting multiple components of a computer on a single chip or across multiple chips. Connected entities either place signals on the bus or listen to signals being transmitted on the bus, but signals from only one entity at a time can be transported by the bus at any given time. Buses are popular communication media for broadcasts in computer systems.

Automated Synthesis of Computing Nanoscale Crossbars using Formal Methods
Since the fabrication of nanoscale memristors by HP Labs in 2008, there has been a renewed interest in the use of crossbars of nanoscale memristors as digital storage and neuromorphic computing devices. However, the same success has not been replicated in the use of crossbars for performing general-purpose computations that can support the existing software infrastructure originally designed fo...
متن کاملDecomposed Arbiters for Large Crossbars with Multi-Queue Input Buffers
Crossbars are key components of communication switches used to construct multiprocessor interconnection networks. For a fixed number of nodes, larger crossbars result in reduced probability of conflicts and allows packets to traverse the network in fewer hops. However, increasing the size of the crossbar also increases the delay of the arbiter used to resolve conflicting requests. The increased...
متن کاملImproving Spanning-Knee External Fixator Stiffness: A Biomechanical Study.
The purpose of this study was to test and compare external fixator construct stiffness using pin-to-bar clamps or multipin clamps across 2 external fixation systems. Constructs were tested with 8-mm and 11-mm-diameter bar systems and pin-to-bar or multipin clamps. Three construct designs were tested: construct 1 with a single crossbar and pin-to-bar clamps, construct 2 with 2 crossbars and pin-...
متن کاملStrong Performance Guarantees for Asynchronous Buffered Crossbar Schedulers
Crossbar-based switches are commonly used to implement routers with throughputs up to about 1 Tb/s. The advent of crossbar scheduling algorithms that provide strong performance guarantees now makes it possible to engineer systems that perform well, even under extreme traffic conditions. Until recently, such performance guarantees have only been developed for crossbars that switch cells rather t...
متن کاملReconfigurable intelligent optical backplane for parallel computing and communications.
A reconfigurable intelligent optical backplane architecture for parallel computing and communications is described. The backplane consists of a large number of reconfigurable optical channels organized in a ring with relatively simple point-to-point optical interconnections between neighboring smart-pixel arrays. The intelligent backplane can implement (l) dynamically reconfigurable connections...
