High-Performance Real-Time Bus in Parallel Processing System

Rapid increases in the complexity of algorithms for real-time signal processing applications have made multi-processors parallel processing technology needed. This paper proposes a design of high-performance real-time bus (RTB), based on which distributed shared memory (DSM) mechanism is established to implement data exchange among multiple processors. Adopting DSM mechanism can reduce the software overhead and improve data processing performance significantly. Definition and implementation details of RTB and data transmission model are discussed. Experimental results show the stable data transmission bandwidth is achieved with performance not affected by the increasing number of processors.
