I/O processor as the device for computing process management in the PDCS “Buran”

Abstract

The paper presents the main differences of the new computing model and the system that implements this model from traditional dataflow systems. The parallel dataflow computing system architecture and I/O processor are briefly described. I/O processor is one of the main management elements of computing process in the system. Functionality of the token-generating unit and various input-output modes are also described. The data obtained with some experiments, which were carried out at the modelling programme for a number of problems, are given.
