Summary :

In a multiprocessor system where the number of processors composing the system is increased, and the memory utilization is raised by improving the execution rate of each processor, the reduction of system throughput caused by the memory access conflicts has to be considered substantially. This paper describes the discussion on such an approach that implements a conflict-free data mapping by the use of some sophisticated address translation between logical and physical addresses. This new addressing scheme of a reorganizable memory structure provides the function that allows each processor easily to distribute the operands to be accessed to completely different memory modules, by interlaying the address translation mechanism called address organizer between logical and physical addresses. This approach permits the memory structure to reorganize so as to make it adaptive to the parallelism contained in the problems themselves, and thus also to accomplish the suppression of memory access conflicts spontaneously. Furthermore, conflict-free data mapping being eventually accomplished through an interface of such a hardware as address translation mechanism, this approach has an advantage that the user's logical address space will not be affected in the least.
