Abstract

The concept and structure of a local computer network are presented for a full scale high performance computer network coupled by a dual 32 Mbps optical fiber ring bus. The design goals of the system are efficient resource sharing and improved RAS. Implementation issues of the system are discussed, focussing on the optical fiber ring bus and the network operating system services. The experimental results also include the processing times for a data link connection/disconnection, the synchronous delay time for a read/write operation matching, and the data transmission speed and efficiency of both the multiplex mode and the burst mode.

Fault diagnosis and automatic reconfiguration for a ring subsystem

A ring subsystem has been developed for a full-scale high performance heterogeneous computer network. The design goals and the implementation issues of the automatic reconfiguration of the ring subsystem are presented. Particular emphasis is laid upon reliability improvement techniques, based on duplication of the ring subsystem components, and the automatic reconfiguration algorithm, which determines network configuration when faults occur.
