Parallelism in Communication Subsystems

Parallel transport subsystem implementation for high‐performance communication

“…PATROCLOS is appropriate but not limited to be implemented on a hybrid multiprocessor architecture. Parallel architectures for communication subsystems are successfully built with transputer networks [2,4,5,7,8]. This Section describes the mapping of the protocol specification based on the set of parallel FSMs to appropriate implementation building blocks and the developed hybrid multiprocessor architecture.…”

“…communication overhead among parallel building blocks) to support their efficient implementation on multiprocessor architectures and to increase their performance significantly[ I]. Several parallel protocol implementations have already shown performance advantages [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Because parallelising standard protocols (e.g.…”

On the parallel implementation of OSI protocol processing systems

“…Protocol processing can be parallelized in a number of ways based on the granularity of the unit of parallelization [15] [40]. The atomic unit can be a connection, a protocol layer, a function or a packet.…”

“…Out of the large number of research efforts, only a few of them have attempted to deal with the higher protocol layers. Goldberg et al [15] and Zitterbart [40] described ways of parallel processing the protocol stack up to and including the presentation layer using a small number of processors and showed that a significant improvement in throughput can be obtained.…”

“…The number of data movements is thus reduced to two. This modification reduces the number of data movements but may be regarded as a violation of the protocol stack model [40]. will be less retries and a higher throughput is possible.…”
