Abstract: A bufferless crossbar switch system and technique for synchronization and error recovery between switch line cards is provided. A network switches data through the bufferless data crossbar switch and distributes a high-speed frequency and time signal on a separate channel. The separate channel allows clock recovery, eliminating the need to encode the data in a way that allows clock recovery. The separate channel also gives a global picture of time so that a system can be globally scheduled by notifying ingress and egress line card adapters when to perform specific actions, such as transmitting or receiving data or retransmitting data for error recovery.

Abstract: A control topology for distributed scheduling has a two-dimensional fanout broadcast network, which may include logical partitioning. Logically, a switch is in the center and line cards are in a two-dimensional grid. There are multiple broadcast networks along rows and columns. Each line card broadcasts to all the other line cards in its row and column. Then, each line card aggregates requests in its row and forwards the aggregated data to all the other line cards in its column.

Abstract: A message-passing protocol for accommodating early arrival messages passed between source and destination nodes in a computer system with a plurality of asynchronous computing nodes interconnected by bidirectional asynchronous communications channels. The protocol includes transmitting the message from sender to receiver without waiting for a request for the message from the receiver; determining at the receiver if a receive buffer has been posted for the message; and if the receive buffer has not been posted for the message, then either truncating the message by storing its message header in an early arrival queue at the receiver and discarding its data or allocating a temporary receive buffer at the receiver to hold the message data. Upon the receiver being ready to post a receive buffer for an early arrival message, the receiver checks the early arrival queue for the corresponding message header, and if the message header is in the early arrival queue and the message data has been discarded, then the receiver sends a pull request to the sender to retransmit the message to the receiver.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a memory region/memory window (MR/MW) access notification on a system area network are provided. Whenever a previously allocated MR/MW is accessed, such as via a remote direct memory access (RDMA) read/write operation, a notification of the access is generated and written to a queue data structure associated with the MR/MW. In one illustrative embodiment, this queue data structure may be a MR/MW event queue (EQ) data stricture that is created and used for all consumer processes and all MR/MWs. In other illustrative embodiments, the EQ is associated with a protection domain. In yet another illustrative embodiment, an event record may be posted to an asynchronous event handler in response to the accessing of the MR/MW. In another illustrative embodiment, a previously posted queue element may be used to generate a completion queue element in response to the accessing of the MR/MW.
