Abstract(in English) We have been developing a local area distributed computing system in which up to thousands of commodity personal computers and workstations can be connected by high speed optical interconnections. To network for such a system, there are a lot of requirements: 1) Efficient treatment of various size packets, 2) multicasting facility, 3) topology free, and 4)deadlock free. Since a large size buffer is required for each link, it is difficult to implement a router chip which satisfies these requirements. Here, a router with embedded-DRAM which is based on a future DRAM-logic integration technology is proposed. Simulation results shows that evaluated structures including a new method called virtual channel cache achieve enough performance. A design of prototype router chip also introduced.
