The M-Machine computing nodes are connected with a 3-D mesh network; each node is a multithreaded processor incorporating 9 function units, on-chip cache, and local memory. The multiple function units are used to exploit both instruction-level and thread-level parallelism. A user accessible message passing system yields fast communication and synchronization between nodes. Rapid access to remote memory is provided transparently to the user with a combination of hardware and software mechanisms. This paper presents the architecture of the M-Machine and describes how its mechanisms attempt to maximize both single thread performance and overall system throughput. The architecture is complete and the MAP chip, which will serve as the M-Machine processing node, is currently being implemented.
NICHOLAS P. CARTER is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His bachelor's and master's degrees are also from that institution. Dr. Carter's research interests are in computer architecture, in particular the interaction of fabrication technology and computer architecture as well as the design of computer systems using non-traditional fabrication technologies. He has received a number of awards, including an AASERT fellowship, and has been named a Collins Scholar by the University of Illinois.
