  • Patent number: 9009372
    Abstract: A processor includes a plurality of nodes arranged two dimensionally in the X-axis direction and in the Y-axis direction, and each of the nodes includes a processor core and a distributed shared cache memory. The processor also includes a first connecting unit and a second connecting unit. The first connecting unit connects adjacent nodes in the X-axis direction among the nodes, in a ring shape. The second connecting unit connects adjacent nodes in the Y-axis direction among the nodes, in a ring shape. The cache memories included in the respective nodes are divided into banks in the Y-axis direction. Coherency of the cache memories in the X-axis direction is controlled by a snoop system. The cache memories are shared by the nodes.

  • Publication number: 20120246262
    Abstract: The data transmitting device receives data from a plurality of computation nodes transmitting data each other. The data transmitting device acquires a cumulative number of other data being counterparts of adjustment performed by the computation nodes until the data is received from each received data. The data transmitting device updates the cumulative number acquired from each data, on the basis of a number of the received data. The data transmitting device selectes data to be transmitted to the computation nodes by adjusting the received on the basis of the updated cumulative number. The data transmitting device stores the updated cumulative number in the selected data. The data transmitting device transmits the data in which the cumulative number is stored to the other device.

  • Patent number: 7761718
    Abstract: In a blade of a blade server, power is supplied from a power distributing unit to an internal circuit, and also supplied to a capacitor to charge the capacitor. If power consumption of the blade server is high and a process load on a blade is also high, power is supplied to the internal circuit from both the power distributing unit and the capacitor. If the process load on the blade is low, power is supplied to the internal circuit only from the power distributing unit.

  • Patent number: 7653738
    Abstract: An interconnection network is provided with switch devices for computers for a plurality of computers, respectively, a predetermined number of physical lines for switch devices for computers are bound to form each of logical lines, the physical lines forming the logical lines interconnect the other switch devices for computer via a plurality of switch devices for relay to form a parallel computer system. When a data transmission speed required between the computers is judged to be lower than a line transmission speed determined by the number of physical lines of any switch device for relay, switch setting-off unit turns off power of the whole switch device for relay that has been judged to shut off the switch device for relay from the interconnection network.

  • Patent number: 7602799
    Abstract: A network management apparatus interconnects a plurality of computers through physical lines having a predetermined line speed to manage a switch apparatus constructing a parallel computer system. The switch apparatus comprises a plurality of physical port units to enable or disable the same through individual power supply ON/OFF control for the physical port units, thereby changing and controlling the line transmission speed according to the enable number. A logical port constructing unit in the network management apparatus bundles the physical lines by a plurality of physical port units in the switch apparatus to construct logical lines. A port control unit changes the number of operations of a plurality of physical port units assigned to the logical port units through the power supply ON/OFF control according to a necessary data transmission speed for the logical port units, thereby dynamically changing the line transmission speed.
