Abstract

This paper is about exploring the various systems related aspects pertinent in the recent Parameterized Linear Array with a Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System (LARPBS(p)) model. The two principal features of the LARPBS(p) model is, firstly, its bridging model definition similar to that of the BSP model leading to a more detailed algorithm cost analysis than other models, and secondly, the incorporation of several new communication primitives not defined in earlier models. This paper reviews the systems related aspects of earlier optical bus models and summarizes the LARPBS(p) model. The main part of this paper considers some practical systems related aspects of the LARPBS(p) model, specifically: fiber and free space based implementations, feasibility study, communication traffic analysis, bus collision avoidance, and the cost analysis of a MIMD algorithm. An overview perspective of the work is presented, thereby: the edge of systems related research is identified.
