Title: Synchronization in a multi-tile, multi-chip processing arrangement
Inventor: DANIEL JOHN PELHAM WILKINSON
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2017-10-20
Abstract: A system comprises multiple processor tiles divided into domains, wherein within each domain 2 the tiles 4 are connected to one another via a respective instance of a time-deterministic interconnect, and between domains the tiles are connected to one another via a non-time-deterministic interconnect. A method of operating the system comprises performing a compute stage 52, then performing a respective internal barrier synchronisation 30 within each domain, then performing an internal exchange phase 50 within each domain, then performing an external barrier synchronisation 80 to synchronise between different domains and establish a common time reference, and then performing an external exchange phase 50’ between the domains. An internal barrier synchronisation requires all the participating tiles in the respective domain to have completed the compute phase before any tiles are allowed to proceed to the internal exchange phase, thereby establishing a common time reference between the participating tiles. During the internal exchange phase the participating tiles do not communicate computation results to with other domains. Each of the domains may be a different chip, with the time-deterministic interconnect being an internal lossless on-chip interconnect, and the non-time-deterministic interconnect being an external lossy interconnect between chips.

Filed: 2018-01-17
Abstract: A connector comprises a body 1 which is open at one end 4, and a shoulder 8 in the through-way supports an 0-ring 9. A cap 2 is fitted within an open end of the body, the cap being retained in the body by a snap fit. The cap has a plurality of legs 24 each having an outwardly extending tooth 22 to engage with a complimentary recess 12 in the body. A collet 3 has a plurality of legs 31 which engage with a leg of the cap, and each having an inwardly facing tooth 32 to grip a tube. The cap has an inwardly facing tapered surface (29, fig. 3) that is tapered to provide a cap angle that engages with the collet legs. Axial movement of the collet towards the open end causes inward deflection of the collet legs. The inward deflection then causes a radially outward force to be applied to the legs of the cap via the tapered surface to urge each tooth of the cap into its respective complimentary recess. Complimentary features can be provided in the cap and body to ensure they are in correct angular alignment.
