Route Packets, Not Wires: On-Chip Interconnection Networks
, 2001
"... Using on-chip interconnection networks in place of ad-hoc global wiring structures the top level wires on a chip and facilitates modular design. With this approach, system modules (processors, memories, peripherals, etc...) communicate by sending packets to one another over the network. The structur ..."

Maté: A Tiny Virtual Machine for Sensor Networks
, 2002
"... Composed of tens of thousands of tiny devices with very limited resources ("motes"), sensor networks are subject to novel systems problems and constraints. The large number of motes in a sensor network means that there will often be some failing nodes; networks must be easy to repopu-late. ..."

for sensor networks. Mat~'s high-level in-terface allows complex programs to be very short (under 100 bytes), reducing the energy cost of transmitting new programs. Code is broken up into small capsules of 24 instructions, which can self-replicate through the network. Packet sending and reception
Token flow control
"... As companies move towards many-core chips, an efficient onchip communication fabric to connect these cores assumes critical importance. To address limitations to wire delay scalability and increasing bandwidth demands, state-of-the-art on-chip networks use a modular packet-switched design with route ..."

Myrinet: A Gigabit-per-Second Local Area Network
- IEEE Micro
, 1995
"... Abstract. Myrinet is a new type of local-area network (LAN) based on the technology used for packet communication and switching within "massivelyparallel processors " (MPPs). Think of Myrinet as an MPP message-passing network that can span campus dimensions, rather than as a wide-a ..."

Background. In order to understand how Myrinet differs from conventional LANs
The Case for a Single-Chip Multiprocessor
- IEEE Computer
, 1996
"... Advances in IC processing allow for more microprocessor design options. The increasing gate density and cost of wires in advanced integrated circuit technologies require that we look for new ways to use their capabilities effectively. This paper shows that in advanced technologies it is possible to ..."

to implement a single-chip multiproces-sor in the same area as a wide issue superscalar processor. We find that for applications with little parallelism the performance of the two microarchitectures is comparable. For applications with large amounts of parallelism at both the fine and coarse grained levels
Reliable Communication in the Presence of Failures
- ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
, 1987
"... The design and correctness of a communication facility for a distributed computer system are reported on. The facility provides support for fault-tolerant process groups in the form of a family of reliable multicast protocols that can be used in both local- and wide-area networks. These protocols at ..."

The Stanford FLASH multiprocessor
- In Proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 1994
"... The FLASH multiprocessor efficiently integrates support for cache-coherent shared memory and high-performance message passing, while minimizing both hardware and software overhead. Each node in FLASH contains a microprocessor, a portion of the machine’s global memory, a port to the interconnection n ..."

alternative processor designs that specifically target such workloads. The abundance of explicit thread-level parallelism in commercial workloads, along with advances in semiconductor integration density, identify chip multiprocessing (CMP) as potentially the most promising approach for designing processors
