System having a plurality of nodes connected in multi-dimensional matrix, method of controlling system and apparatus

摘要

A system (1) has a plurality of nodes (N1, N2, ... N16) connected in a multi-dimensional matrix and having node addresses, respectively, each of the nodes having a processor (310), and a router (100) for transmitting a request packet to a node adjacent in the n+1th dimension when the address of nth dimension of the particular node is matched to the address of nth dimension of the target node, transmitting a response packet to a node adjacent in the nth dimension when the address of n+1th dimension of the particular node is matched to the address of n+1th dimension of the response packet, wherein the router (100) terminates a request packet when the address of the request packet is fully matched to the node address of the particular node in all the dimensions, transfers the data conveyed by the request packet to the processor (310) of the particular node for processing.
