Docket #: S12-138

High-Radix Interprocessor Communications System and Method

Stanford researchers and Cray Inc. have patented a highly efficient system and method for routing packets in a multiprocessor computer system. This high-radix communication system is detailed in US Patent US 8,184,626 B2.


Computer system described above is designed to run demanding applications with high communication requirements. It is a distributed shared memory multiprocessor built with high performance, high bandwidth custom processors. The processors support latency hiding, addressing and synchronization features that facilitate scaling to large system sizes.
