摘要: The scalable coherent interface (SCI) defines a high-speed interconnect system that provides memory system. It specifies topology-independent communication protocol with the possibility of connecting up to 64 K nodes. SCI switches are key components in building large systems effectively. An switch which uses several internal buses is studied as well more complex composed switches. Computer simulations used compare different models and determine parameters.
