In this paper, we describe an implementation of the B-Link bus interface logic for a directory controller and a remote access cash controller in the SCI-based CC-NUMA multimedia server developed by ETRI . The CC-NUMA multimedia server is composed of a number of Pentium III SHV nodes and a SCI interconnection network. To communicate with remote nodes, each node has a CC-Agent which consists of a processor bus interface(PIF). a directory controller(DC), a remote access cash controller(RC), and two SCI 1ink controllers(LCs). The B-Link bus interface logic is developed for a directory controller and a remote access cash controller in order to communicate with a SCI link controller on a B-Link bus. It consists of a sending master controller a receiving slave controller, and asynchronous data buffers. And It performs a self-arbitration, a data packet transmission, a queue allocation, an early terminal ion. and a cut-through data path.

Throughput and latency of interconnection network are important factors of the performance of multiprocessor systems. The dual-link CC-NUMA architecture using point-to-point unidirectional link is one of the popular structures in high-end commercial systems. In terms of optimal path between nodes, several paths exist with the optimal hop count by its native multi-path structure. Furthermore, transaction latency between nodes is affected by congestion of links on the transaction path. Hence the transaction latency may get worse if the transactions make a hot spot on some links. In this paper, I propose a dynamic transaction routing algorithm that maintains the balanced link utilization with the optimal path length, and I compare the performance with the fixed path method on the dual-link CC-NUMA systems. By the proposed method, the link competition is alleviated by the real-time path selection, and consequently, dynamic transaction algorithm shows a better performance. The program-driven simulation results show $1{\~}10\%$ improved fluctuation of link utilization, $1{\~}3\%$ enhanced acquirement of link, and $1{\~}6\%$ improved system performance.

The chordal ring based CC-NUMA system contains many links to transmit transactions between a local node and a remote node because of its structural characteristics. However, the inclination that the transactions concentrate on the ring link increases both the traffic of the ring link and the response time, which degrades the overall performance of the chordal ring based CC-NUMA system. In this paper we suggest a new remote cache replacement policy that considers both the number of total links and the number of ring links to traverse for the transactions. Our proposed replacement policy can balance data between the ring link and the chordal link properly because it reflects the characteristics of chordal ring based CC-NUMA system well.

Under the multiprogrammed situation, the performance of multiprocessor system is affected by the process allocation policy of the operating systems. The lowest communication cost can be achieved when the related processes positioned to the adjacent processors. While the effective allocation is quite difficult to the real situation, and the processing of the allocation policy consumes some computation time. The dual-ring CC-NUMA systems exhibit a quite performance difference according to the process a1location policy due to a lot of unbalanced memory transactions on the interconnection networks. In this paper, I propose a load balanced dual-link CC-NUMA system that does not requires the processes allocation policy. By the program-driven simulation results. the proposed system shows no remarkable difference according to the allocation policy while the dual-ring systems shows 10％ performance improvement by the process allocation. In addition, the proposed system outperforms the dual~ring systems about 1.5 times.

The multiprocessor system suffers interconnection network contension while exploiting the program's parallelism. A CC-NUMA system based on point-to-point link ring structure is one of the scalable architectures that expand the system bandwidth the number of processors/nodes increases. The dual-ring system is a simple solution to enhance the system performance and scalability by duplicating the links. In ring-based systems, an unbalanced transaction among links makes a hot spot on the interconnection network. In this situation, total system performance and scalability are bound by the hot spot of the links In this paper, I propose a dual-link CC-NUMA system, which alleviates the concentration of transactions among the links. By the simulation results, the proposed system significantly outperforms the single-ring and bidirection dual-ring systems. In addition, the proposed system show better distribution of transactions among the links that achieves an extended scalability.

CC-NUMA 시스템은 메모리를 분산시켜 트랜잭션을 지역화 함으로써 고성능 및 확장성을 꾀하는 구조이다. 그러나 CC-NUMA 시스템에서 여러 병렬 프로그램들이 수행될 경우, 각 프로그램의 부하 차이에 의하여 균등한 네트워크 활용율을 나타내지 못하며. 이중 링 CC-NUMA 시스템에서 이러한 불균등한 네트워크 부하로 인한 성능 감소가 발생한다. 본 논문은 이중 연결 구조중 하나를 건너뜀 연결을 갖도록 배치하여 균등한 네트워크 부하를 나타내도록 하며, 이중 링에 비하여 균등한 네트워크 부하를 나타냄을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증한다.

In this paper, we propose a unique systolic structure and communication algorithm that maintains a solid link between nodes using synchronous digital communication and enables low power communication. This system was designed by using CC2500 RF transceiver, CC2590 RF front end and C8051F330 low power microcontroller. The measurement of power consumption in the network link shows below $400{\mu}W$ in data transfer rate 320bps. The system constitutes the base unit of low power wireless network that was composed of each seven link nodes having eight sensor nodes. Results of the experiments show that link nodes using a 4Ah battery could operate over 3 years without replacement.

The sensor network standard DASH7 was proposed to improve transmission quality and low power communication. Specifications for the standard are currently being developed, so the security specification has not been firmly implemented. However, without a security specification, a network cannot work due to threats from malicious users. Thus we must ensure confidentiality and authentication of data packets by using a cryptography method. To contribute to the DASH7 security specification, this paper shows the implementation results of network and data link layer security by using advanced encryption standard (AES) counter with CBC-MAC (CCM) over CC430 sensor nodes.
