Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) For interconnection in middle scale multiprocessors, PBSF(Piled Banyan Switching Fabrics) was proposed. In order to enhance the bandwidth, it consists of 3-dimentionally connected Omega networks, and the first prototype chip was implemented using VDEC process. A multiprocessor system called SNAIL-2 is developed for evaluating the performance of the PBSF network. Now, a prototype with 4 processors and 4 memory modules is available, while the full scale system consists of 16 processors and 16 memory modules. The PBSF network performance of SNAIL-2 is evaluated with some programs front the benchmark application suit "SPLASH-2", and most programs can be executed 3.5 times faster than those with a single processor.
