Abstract:
A distributed computing system of one dimensional architecture having a predetermined number of routers, the connection among the respective routers being made in a point-to-point link, the respective routers being connected to an associated processor, said respective routers comprising:means for forming a direct data transmission path between an input terminal and an output terminal corresponding to the array dimension of the routers in order for the respective routers to use the point-to-point link connected with router adjacent to the respective routers as one virtual bus on specific condition and in case of two dimensional arrays; and row and column control lines wire-ORed with the respective routers according to one dimensional architecture in which the respective routers are arrayed for exchanging information among the respective routers, said row and column control lines being driven when the means for forming a direct data transmission path is driven between the input terminal and the output terminal.
