The system is also operated at 100% throughput, work conserving, fair, and yet deterministically thereby never congesting the output ports. The system performs only one iteration for arbitration, and with mathematical minimum speedup in the interconnection network. The system operates with absolutely no packet reordering issues, no internal buffering of packets in the interconnection network, and hence in a truly cut-through and distributed manner. In one embodiment, the system is operated in strictly nonblocking manner with only one subnetwork and with double switching rate through the subnetwork. In another embodiment, the system is operated in rearrangeably nonblocking manner with a speedup of at least, Formula (II), in the interconnection network. When the number of input ports r1 is equal to the number of output ports Pi, and r1 = r2 = r , the interconnection network having a speedup of at least, Formula (III), is operated in strictly nonblocking and deterministic manner in accordance with the invention by scheduling at most r packets in each switching time to be switched in at most r switching times. And with a speedup of at least, Formula (IV), in the interconnection network, the system is operated in rear rangeably nonblocking and deterministic manner. The system also offers end to end guaranteed bandwidth and latency for packets from input ports to output ports. In all the embodiments, the interconnection network may be crossbar network, shared memory network, clos network, hypercube network, or any internally nonblocking interconnection network or network of networks.

Abstract: A set of mechanisms handles communication with a Knowledge Store and its K  Engine(s). The Knowledge Store (KStore) does not need indexes or tables to support it but instead is formed by the construction of interlocking trees of pointers in nodes of the interlocking trees. The K Engine builds and is used to query a KStore by using threads that use software objects together with a K  Engine to learn particlized events, thus building the KStore, and these or other software objects can be used to make queries and get answers from the KStore, usually with the help of a K Engine. Under some circumstances, information can be obtained directly from the KStore, but is generally only available through the actions of the K Engine. The mechanisms provide communications pathways for users and applications software to build and/or query the KStore. Both these processes can proceed simultaneously, and in multiple instances. There can be a plurality of engines operating on a KStore essentially simultaneously. Additionally a mechanism for providing triggers allows for automatic reporting of events, conditions and occurrences to users and applications.
