Abstract

Avionics architectures have evolved significantly during the last 20 years, keeping pace with new technologies and attempting to provide the required speed and bandwidth interconnectivity between the various sensors, processors, and other nodes throughout an aircraft. Replicated shared-memory networking (SMN) offers an elegant solution to the real-time, computer-to-computer communications problem required in avionics simulation, monitoring, and testing systems. A SMN reduces multiple-computer systems to one virtual computer, diminishing system development and maintenance costs. It features both system-level architectural simplicity and ultra-fast data communications. Suited to problems requiring more than one computer, it offers data transfer at the speed of light. This paper describes the technology and history of shared memory networks as traditionally used in real-time simulation, testing, and computational applications, and proposes the use of shared memory networks as an advanced avionics architecture of the future.<>

共享内存网络:描述、历史和未来航空电子架构的候选

在过去的20年里，航空电子架构发生了重大变化，与新技术保持同步，并试图在飞机上的各种传感器、处理器和其他节点之间提供所需的速度和带宽互连。复制共享内存网络(SMN)为航空电子模拟、监控和测试系统中需要的实时、计算机对计算机通信问题提供了一种优雅的解决方案。SMN将多台计算机系统简化为一台虚拟计算机，从而降低了系统开发和维护成本。它的特点是系统级架构的简单性和超快速的数据通信。适合于需要多台计算机的问题，它提供光速的数据传输。本文描述了共享存储网络的技术和历史，传统上用于实时仿真、测试和计算应用，并提出了共享存储网络作为未来先进航空电子体系结构的使用。
