Abstract: A massively parallel supercomputer of petaOPS-scale includes node architectures based upon System-On-a-Chip technology, where each processing node comprises a single Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) having up to four processing elements. The ASIC nodes are interconnected by multiple independent networks that optimally maximize the throughput of packet communications between nodes with minimal latency. The multiple networks may include three high-speed networks for parallel algorithm message passing including a Torus, collective network, and a Global Asynchronous network that provides global barrier and notification functions. These multiple independent networks may be collaboratively or independently utilized according to the needs or phases of an algorithm for optimizing algorithm processing performance. The use of a DMA engine is provided to facilitate message passing among the nodes without the expenditure of processing resources at the node.

Abstract: Apparatus for automatically adjusting the orientation of a first surface of a first body to be against a second surface of a second body when said first surface is pressed against said second surface. The apparatus includes a means for movably mounting the first body to a support which permits rotation of the first surface so that when the first surface is pressed against the second surface, the first surface rotates with respect to the support resulting in the first surface being against the second surface.

Abstract: A parallax method of wavelength labeling is based on optical triangulation. A complementary color pattern projected onto the surface is characterized by a continuous variation of the power ratio of two wavelength bands, and the profile can be measured at all points in the field of view. Shifts of the wavelength bands on separate detector arrays correspond to profile deviations. A signal processor calculates a normalized signal that is independent of surface reflectivity and roughness variations; the phase shift of this signal yields depth data from which the surface profile can be mapped.
