Re: [Gems-users] Network in Ruby

["hongxia sun" <sunhx.seraph@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

 

The message enqueued in SLICC will wakeup PerfectSwitch because they are put into the output port of the controller, and whose consumer is PerfectSwitch. If consumers of different controllers are set to its destinate controller, could message be transferred directly among controllers? Or in this way, it is difficult to set special consumers for each controllers' output ports?

 

Thank you!

 

Regards,

Hongxia SUN

This is possible in theory. But SLICC lacks the syntax support to
directly enqueue a message to a MessageBuffer of some other controller.

Virtual networks are used to avoid protocol deadlock. I believe virtual
networks might be discussed in a research paper titled "The Alpha 21364
Network Architecture"
