摘要： A Multi-Petascale Highly Efficient Parallel Supercomputer of 100 petaOPS-scale computing, at decreased cost, power and footprint, and that allows for a maximum packaging density of processing nodes from an interconnect point of view. The Supercomputer exploits technological advances in VLSI that enables a computing model where many processors can be integrated into a single Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each ASIC computing node comprises a system-on-chip ASIC utilizing four or more processors integrated into one die, with each having full access to all system resources and enabling adaptive partitioning of the processors to functions such as compute or messaging I/O on an application by application basis, and preferably, enable adaptive partitioning of functions in accordance with various algorithmic phases within an application, or if I/O or other processors are underutilized, then can participate in computation or communication nodes are interconnected by a five dimensional torus network with DMA that optimally maximize the throughput of packet communications between nodes and minimize latency.

摘要： Messaging in a parallel computer using remote direct memory access (‘RDMA’), including: receiving a send work request; responsive to the send work request: translating a local virtual address on the first node from which data is to be transferred to a physical address on the first node from which data is to be transferred from; creating a local RDMA object that includes a counter set to the size of a messaging acknowledgment field; sending, from a messaging unit in the first node to a messaging unit in a second node, a message that includes a RDMA read operation request, the physical address of the local RDMA object, and the physical address on the first node from which data is to be transferred from; and receiving, by the first node responsive to the second node's execution of the RDMA read operation request, acknowledgment data in the local RDMA object.
