The video-RAM multiprocessor architecture
1988
Microprocessing & Microprogramming
Loosely coupled multiprocessor systems communicate by message passing. Traditional implementations of message passing architectures are based on communication controllers accessing local memory through DMA channels. The authors describe a completely new communication mechanism based on the transfer of messages through dual-port memories. The proposed architecture takes advantage of the dual-port nature of dynamic video-RAM ICs in order to ensure efficient and deadlock-free message transfer between communicating processes
