Abstract

Local and global communication between computing cores is an essential problem of efficient parallel computations in many---core massively parallel systems based on many Chip Multi---Processor (CMP) modules interconnected by global networks. The paper presents new methods for data communication inside and between CMP modules. At the level of data communication between CMP modules a special network implements communication between CMP module external shared memories with simultaneous reads on the fly to L2 data caches and main memories of CMP modules. Similar mechanism improves local communication between shared memory modules and data caches inside CMPs.
