초록

워크스테이션들의 네트워크(NOWs)와 같은 스위치 기반의 비정규적 네트워크는 고속 스위치를 이용하여 프로세서 노드나 네트워크 호스트들을 특정 위상에 구애받지 않고 연결한 것으로 우수한 유연성(flexibility)과 확장성(scalability)의 장점이 있다. 그러나 메쉬와 같은 정규적인 위상에 비해 교착 상태(deadlock)에 빠지지 않는 효율적인 다중 전송을 수행하는 것은 용이하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 전송 트리의 루트 노드에 무리를 주지 않고 할당받은 서비스에 따라서 전송 단계와 적응성에 차별성을 부여하며 스위치의 채널 사용의 불균형을 개선하고 네트워크 부하 분포의 조정이 가능한 단일 단계 차별적 다중 전송(Single Phase Differential Multicast; SPDM) 기법을 제안한다.

Networks of Workstations(NOWs), that has features of flexibility and scalability, recently has emerged as an inexpensive alternative to massively parallel multicomputers. However it is not easier to perform deadlock-free multicast than regular topologies like mash or hypercube. Single phase differential multicast(SPDM) is a modified multicast algorithm with less burden of the root node. By applying quality of serviece(QoS), a specific node can have differentiated service and artificial change of message flow pattern is also available. As the results of performance evaluation experiments, SPDM has lower latency and lower packet concentration rate of the root node than the case of SPAM, and has ability to control network load distribution among switch nodes by controlling the assignment rate among nodes.
