Description

先进的光纤总线系统  Advanced Fiber Bus System
本发明所属的技术领域 Technical field to which the present invention belongs
本发明涉及一种光纤总线的物理结构, 属计算机、 通讯领域。  The invention relates to a physical structure of an optical fiber bus, and belongs to the field of computers and communication.
在本发明之前的现有技术 Prior art prior to the present invention
目前应用于计算机系统的总线体系均使用导线作为信号传输介质, 信 号通过电场或电流来运载。 比较常见的总线系统有 ISA、 PCI, AGP, SPARC等, 它们的总线频率都在 500兆赫兹以下, 而我们知道现在通用 CPU 的内部频率已经达到千兆赫兹 (GHz) 以上并且在数年内将逼近 10GHz。 '目前通用 CPU的内部频率为外部总线频率的数倍。  The bus systems currently used in computer systems all use wires as signal transmission media, and signals are carried by electric fields or currents. The more common bus systems are ISA, PCI, AGP, SPARC, etc., their bus frequencies are below 500 MHz, and we know that the internal frequency of general-purpose CPUs has now reached more than gigahertz (GHz) and will approach in a few years 10GHz. 'At present, the internal frequency of a general-purpose CPU is several times the frequency of the external bus.
目前网络及通讯领域已经使用多种成熟的光纤传输技术, 例如千兆光 纤以太网, 其传输频率可以达到 lGHz。 而在长途传输技术上, 成熟的技 术是 2.5G DWDM, 目前已有报道 40Gbits/S的光纤通信产品问世。 我们知 道光纤通信技术目前仍然没有应用于计算机总线领域。  At present, many mature optical fiber transmission technologies have been used in the network and communication fields, such as Gigabit Ethernet, and the transmission frequency can reach lGHz. As for long-distance transmission technology, the mature technology is 2.5G DWDM. At present, it has been reported that 40Gbits / S optical fiber communication products have come out. We know that fiber optic communication technology is still not used in the field of computer bus.
使用导线作为传输介质的总线系统存在的缺陷在于: 1 ) 高频特性不 好, 当总线频率达到数百兆赫兹时, 要将大量模块连进总线系统时, 需要 耗费大面积的电路板进行布线, 而线损和线间的信号串扰使得信号传递几 乎无法进行。 2) 目前的所有总线系统都只规定了逻辑标准和接口部分的 物理标准, 在总线标准实施上, 人们每年每月都要花费大量的人力、 物 力、 时间不断进行新的布线设计、 电路板制造。 每时每刻都有大量的系统 主板被淘汰, 电脑升级时, 人们往往要丢掉一块 (台) PCI标准的电脑主 板换另一块(台) 也是 PCI电路的电脑。 这样一来浪费是惊人的。  The shortcomings of a bus system using a wire as a transmission medium are: 1) The high-frequency characteristics are not good. When the bus frequency reaches hundreds of megahertz, when a large number of modules are connected to the bus system, a large area of circuit boards is required for wiring. However, the line loss and the crosstalk between the lines make signal transmission almost impossible. 2) All current bus systems only specify logical standards and physical standards of the interface. In the implementation of bus standards, people spend a lot of manpower, material resources and time on new wiring design and circuit board manufacturing every month. . At any time, a large number of system motherboards are eliminated. When a computer is upgraded, people often lose one (set) PCI standard computer motherboard for another (set) computer that also has a PCI circuit. This waste is amazing.
发明目的 Object of the invention
本发明目的是用光纤阵列代替金属布线电路板作为总线传输介质, 以 一个或多个基本的先进光纤总线单元代替多层电路板来连接电子元件。 本发明采用的技术方案 The object of the present invention is to replace a metal wiring circuit board with an optical fiber array as a bus transmission medium, and replace one or more basic advanced optical fiber bus units with a multilayer circuit board to connect electronic components. Technical solution adopted by the present invention
一种以高速光纤作为物理传输载体的信号传递总线系统, 其特征在 于: 由多个先进光纤总线接口、 先迸光纤总线接口的基座及其底板还有各 种连结件构成, 其中, 数个先进光纤总'线的基座和一个底板构成一个基本 的先进光纤总线单元, 各基座之间通过高速光纤互联, 而基本先进光纤总 线单元的作用在于与各种含先进光纤总线接口的连接件相联, 提供各连接 件之间的信号传递与交换, 多个连接件和基本的先进光纤总线单元组合起 来可构成具有复杂拓扑结构的多先进光纤总线结构。  A signal transmission bus system using high-speed optical fiber as a physical transmission carrier is characterized in that it is composed of a plurality of advanced optical fiber bus interfaces, a base of an advanced optical fiber bus interface, a base plate thereof, and various connection members, of which several The base of the advanced optical fiber bus and a base plate constitute a basic advanced optical fiber bus unit, and the bases are interconnected by high-speed optical fiber. The basic advanced optical fiber bus unit is used to connect with various connectors including advanced optical fiber bus interfaces. Connected to provide signal transmission and exchange between various connectors. Multiple connectors and basic advanced fiber optic bus units can be combined to form a multiple advanced fiber optic bus structure with a complex topology.
在本说明书里, 所提及的连接件有 3种, 分别是独立数据部件、 接口 转换桥接器、 交换桥接器。  In this specification, there are three types of connectors mentioned, which are independent data components, interface conversion bridges, and exchange bridges.
本发明是一种以光纤阵列代替布线电路板作为总线传输介质, 以一个 或多个基本的先进光纤总线单元代替多层电路板来连接电子元件的物理总 线设计。 它通过使用大量的光纤从而获得远超以往任何计算机总线标准的 数据传输能力。 以现有的密集波分复用 (DWDM) 技术, 一根比导线还细 的光纤可以有每秒 40Gbits的传输能力, 极大地突破了现有的以导线为传 输介质的总线系统的传输频率上限。 使用光纤总线可以解决目前大规模集 成电路芯片与外部导线总线的传输瓶颈问题, 充分发挥集成电路芯片的数 据处理性能。  The invention is a physical bus design in which an optical fiber array is used instead of a wiring circuit board as a bus transmission medium, and one or more basic advanced optical fiber bus units are used instead of a multilayer circuit board to connect electronic components. It uses a large number of optical fibers to achieve data transmission capabilities far beyond any previous computer bus standard. With the existing dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, a fiber thinner than a wire can have a transmission capacity of 40 Gbits per second, which greatly breaks the upper limit of the transmission frequency of the existing bus system using a wire as a transmission medium. . Using an optical fiber bus can solve the current bottleneck problem of large-scale integrated circuit chips and external wire buses, and give full play to the data processing performance of integrated circuit chips.
本发明所涉及的总线系统只涉及一致性很高的制造工艺、 技术和流 程, 不需要不断地进行复杂的、 没有一致性的电路板布线设计、 制造和测 试, 可以完全去掉这些以往计算机工业制造所需的流程, 提高计算机制造 业的生产效率, 同时可为用户节约大量成本。  The bus system involved in the present invention only involves highly consistent manufacturing processes, technologies and processes, and does not need to continuously carry out complicated, inconsistent circuit board wiring design, manufacturing and testing, which can completely eliminate these previous computer industry manufacturing The required processes can improve the productivity of computer manufacturing, and can save users a lot of costs.
由于使用光而不是电进行连接, 本发明能提供带电拔插的功能, 还能 提供控制、 传输信令完全可自定义的高级性能。 这些性能在以电气连接的 系统里是难以实现的。 本发明的总线体系还提供多点对多点同时寻址、 读 写数据的性能, 这种性能是通过一种特殊的基本先进光纤总线单元 BU和 以此为基础的多先进光纤总线结构来实现的。 Because the light is used for connection instead of electricity, the present invention can provide the function of plugging and unplugging under power, and also can provide advanced performance with fully customizable control and transmission signaling. These properties are It is difficult to achieve in the system. The bus system of the present invention also provides the performance of multipoint-to-multipoint simultaneous addressing and data reading and writing. This performance is achieved through a special basic advanced optical fiber bus unit BU and a multi-advanced optical fiber bus structure based on this. of.

本实施例涉及的是含 4个基座的先进光纤总线单元, 5基座、 6基座以 上的先进光纤总线单元可以在 4基座单元基础上扩展, 但是随着基座数的 增加底板光纤连线会趋于复杂。  This embodiment relates to an advanced optical fiber bus unit with four bases. The advanced optical fiber bus units with five bases and more than six bases can be expanded on the basis of four base units, but as the number of bases increases, the backplane optical fiber The wiring can get complicated.
图 1种的先进光纤总线 AOFB的 BU提供 6路专用光纤数据通道、 一路广播数据通道 (共享数据通道) 和一路控制信号通道, 最多能够接入 4个 IDU部件。 以图 1为例, 一台典型的采用先进光纤总线的个人计算机 可以在 BU的基座 1上插 AOFBI接口的 CPU5, 在基座 2上插 AOFBI接口 的大容量存储器模块 6, 在基座 3上插图形处理器 GPU7, 在基座 4上插 T 桥接器(T-Bridge) 8这样就成为一台完整的高性能个人 PC了。  Figure 1 A kind of advanced fiber bus AOFB BU provides 6 dedicated optical fiber data channels, one broadcast data channel (shared data channel) and one control signal channel, which can access up to 4 IDU components. Taking FIG. 1 as an example, a typical personal computer using an advanced fiber-optic bus can insert a CPU 5 with an AOFBI interface on the base 1 of the BU, a mass storage module 6 with an AOFBI interface on the base 2, and a base 3 The graphics processor GPU7 is shown above, and a T-Bridge 8 is inserted into the base 4 so that it becomes a complete high-performance personal PC.
对于产业界来说, 实施 AOFB首先要确定通道的位数, 可能的方案 是: 64、 128或 256位。 这样, 图 1中的 AOFBI的 5个通道 (1个共享数 据通道、 1个共享控制信号通道、 3个专用数据通道) 将分别提供 320光 纤、 640光纤、 1280光纤的连接。 对应到 AOFBI和基座上的光纤阵列, 那 就是 18X 18、 26X26、 36X 36。 而 AOFBI和基座上光纤孔 15、 15P的直 径可以在 0. 1 毫米 ~0. 6 毫米之间。 产业界还要协商制订的标准包括: A0FBI及其基座的尺寸; 光纤阵列 12、 12P的几何尺寸、 孔距、 通道物理- 逻辑对应关系; 电气区域 13、 13P的几何划分, 电气接口的标准, 电源的 电压、 功率标准; 最后, 最重要的是, 要制订一个控制信令协议或控制通 道使用协议。 For the industry, the implementation of AOFB must first determine the number of channels. The possible solutions are: 64, 128, or 256 bits. In this way, the five channels (1 shared data channel, 1 shared control signal channel, and 3 dedicated data channels) of the AOFBI in FIG. 1 will provide connections of 320 optical fibers, 640 optical fibers, and 1280 optical fibers, respectively. Corresponding to the AOFBI and the fiber array on the base, that is 18X 18, 26X26, 36X 36. The diameter of the optical fiber holes 15, 15P on the AOFBI and the base can be between 0.1 mm to 0.6 mm. The standards that the industry must negotiate and formulate include: the size of A0FBI and its base; the geometric dimensions of fiber arrays 12, 12P, hole pitch, channel physics- Logical correspondence relationship; geometric division of electrical areas 13, 13P, electrical interface standards, power supply voltage, power standards; Finally, the most important thing is to formulate a control signaling protocol or control channel usage protocol.
在电气连接的芯片-多层板电路的系统里, 控制是通过芯片管脚引线的 固定连接和信号电平、 时序的固定匹配来实现的, 例如寻址、 数据读写的 控制、 中断请求等等, 我们可以把这种控制称为硬控制。 在光纤总线的系 统里没有芯片管脚引线的固定连接, 所以控制的概念和方法和电气连接的 芯片-多层板电路完全不同。 在光纤总线系统里, 控制是靠信令和协议来 实现的, 这和通讯领域的控制概念相近, 例如, 可以用控制通道发送一个 代表控制意义的字元或字节来实现控制, 我们把这种控制称为软控制。 和 软控制相比, 硬控制有响应速度快、 处理电路简单的特点, 但是软控制虽 然响应速度慢些, 所需的电路和软件复杂些, 但是软控制能实现更复杂更 灵活的控制和更好的兼容能力。 当软控制面对的是大块数据传递的时候, 它的控制速度和效率并不比硬控制低。 本说明书不讨论这些实现控制的信 令、 协议和方法的制定, 只提供实现这些功能的基础。  In an electrically connected chip-multilayer board circuit system, control is achieved through fixed connection of chip pin leads and fixed matching of signal levels and timing, such as addressing, data read and write control, interrupt requests, etc. We can call this kind of control hard control. In the fiber-optic bus system, there is no fixed connection of chip pin leads, so the concept and method of control is completely different from the chip-multilayer circuit of the electrical connection. In the fiber-optic bus system, control is achieved by signaling and protocols. This is similar to the control concept in the communication field. For example, the control channel can be used to send a character or byte representing the meaning of control to achieve control. This kind of control is called soft control. Compared with soft control, hard control has the characteristics of fast response speed and simple processing circuit. However, although soft control has a slower response speed and requires more complicated circuits and software, soft control can achieve more complex and flexible control and more Good compatibility. When soft control is facing the transmission of large blocks of data, its control speed and efficiency are not lower than hard control. This specification does not discuss the development of these signals, protocols, and methods for implementing control, but only provides the basis for implementing these functions.
独立数据部件 IDU由不同的器件生产商生产, 首先, 他们将一条条 的内部电路信号引线接进一个个的电光转换元件, 然后将光信号导进一个 个的 AOFBI的光纤孔, 或者将来自 AOFBI的一个个光信号导入连接内部 电路的光电转换元件阵列。 最后, 将 AOFBI和光电 /电光转换器件阵列及 内部电路封装起来后, 一个 IDU就制造出来了。  The independent data unit IDU is produced by different device manufacturers. First, they connect the internal circuit signal leads to the electro-optical conversion elements, and then direct the optical signals into the AOFBI fiber holes, or from AOFBI. The optical signals are introduced into the photoelectric conversion element array connected to the internal circuit. Finally, after packaging the AOFBI and the photoelectric / electro-optical conversion device array and internal circuits, an IDU is manufactured.
先进光纤总线系统对 AOFBI及其基座的制造精度有很高的要求。 电气 插头和插孔不但用于提供电气连接, 他们还有一个重要的功能, 就是提供 准直引导, 引导 AOFBI和 AOFBI基座的光纤孔对齐。 AOFBI及其基座的 内部构造如图 Ί所示, 光纤阵列数百上千的光纤孔 15、 光纤埋孔 21的中 轴线与所有电气孔的中轴线是平行的, 允许的夹角误差小于 0.005弧度, 同样, 光纤阵列数百上千的光纤孔 15P、 光纤埋孔 21P的中轴线与所有电 气插头的中轴线是平行的, 允许的夹角误差小于 0.005弧度。 当不易变形 的电气插头和电气插孔完全接合时, 21、 15、 15P、 21P才能对直, 同时, 埋入的光纤 22、 23、 22P、 23P对直, 埋入光纤孔 15的带凸透镜 19的大 直径透明圆柱 18和埋入光纤孔 15P的带凸透镜 19P的大直径透明圆柱 18P 对直。 由于微米级的光纤纤芯 23、 23P的光信号被放大到了光纤孔内的大 直径透明圆柱 18和 18P中, 即使光纤孔 15和 15P之间出现了微小的水平 位移 (0.1毫米〜 0.2毫米数量级) 也不会影响光信号的传递, 最多只是多 造成一些光损耗。 24~25是一种理想状态下的光信号传输, 但由于 21、 15、 15P、 21P对直误差的原因, 它们之间的夹角并不严格等于 0, 而是有 微小的角度, 这样光信号在经过透镜聚焦后会偏离透镜中轴线, 为了不使 信号聚焦偏离纤芯太远, 纤芯的开口位置可以放在透镜焦点之前, 这样做 可以减小因光信号聚焦偏离导致光信号丢失的概率, 但是要付出信号大量 衰减的代价。 所幸的是, 在先进光纤总线系统内光信号是在近距离传播 的, 在 BU内不会超过 30厘米, 所以光信号传输质量不会比远程通信质量 差。 当 AOFBI及其基座接合时, 要求界面 17的缝隙是均匀和足够狭窄 的。 Advanced fiber optic bus systems place high demands on the manufacturing accuracy of AOFBI and its base. The electrical plugs and jacks are not only used to provide electrical connections. They also have an important function, which is to provide alignment guidance to guide the alignment of the optical fiber holes of the AOFBI and AOFBI bases. The internal structure of AOFBI and its base is shown in Figure Ί. The axis is parallel to the center axis of all electrical holes, and the allowable angle error is less than 0.005 radians. Similarly, the center axis of hundreds of thousands of fiber holes 15P in fiber arrays and 21P of fiber buried holes are parallel to the center axis of all electrical plugs. The allowable angle error is less than 0.005 radians. When the non-deformable electrical plug and the electrical jack are fully joined, 21, 15, 15P, and 21P can be aligned, and at the same time, the embedded optical fibers 22, 23, 22P, and 23P are aligned, and the convex lens 19 embedded in the optical fiber hole 15 is aligned. The large-diameter transparent cylinder 18 is aligned with the large-diameter transparent cylinder 18P with a convex lens 19P embedded in the optical fiber hole 15P. Because the optical signals of the micron-level fiber cores 23 and 23P are amplified into the large diameter transparent cylinders 18 and 18P in the fiber hole, even if there is a slight horizontal displacement between the fiber holes 15 and 15P (in the order of 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm) ) Will not affect the transmission of optical signals, at most it will only cause some optical loss. 24 ~ 25 is an ideal optical signal transmission, but due to the alignment errors of 21, 15, 15P, and 21P, the angle between them is not strictly equal to 0, but there is a slight angle. The signal will deviate from the center axis of the lens after being focused by the lens. In order not to defocus the signal too far from the core, the opening position of the core can be placed in front of the lens focus. This can reduce the loss of optical signals caused by the focus deviation of the optical signal. Probability, but at the cost of significant attenuation of the signal. Fortunately, in the advanced fiber-optic bus system, the optical signal is transmitted at a short distance, and it does not exceed 30 cm in the BU, so the optical signal transmission quality will not be worse than the remote communication quality. When the AOFBI and its base are joined, the gap of the interface 17 is required to be uniform and narrow enough.
由于光在经过不同界面时会有反射现象, 在图 7的 24〜25光路里一共 有 4个反射面, 反射面的存在会增加发送信号的衰减, 同时也增加接收信 号的干扰 (先进光纤总线通道接口的每个位都用一根光纤同时进行发送和 接收) 。 为此图 8显示的是一个减少两个反射面的可选接口面结构方案。 AOFBI基座部分 16的接口表面为一个有小弧度凹进的球面。 标准的先进 光纤总线接口 AOFBI的接口面部分 16P为一个有小弧度凸出的球面。 凹 面放置的方向与重力方向相反, 且凹面底部放置了透明高折射率的油 26, 这样当两个接口面对正靠拢之后空气随着接口面的靠拢被油面排开, 两个 接口的界面 17之间就充满了均匀分布的油。 接口面光纤阵的光束 27就可 以通过油浸界面而不是空气界面到达接口的另一边, 在这个过程中有两个 反射面的反射被大大消除了。 Due to the reflection of light when passing through different interfaces, there are a total of 4 reflective surfaces in the 24 to 25 optical paths in Figure 7. The presence of the reflective surfaces will increase the attenuation of the transmitted signal and also increase the interference of the received signal (Advanced Fiber Bus Each bit of the channel interface uses a fiber to send and receive at the same time). For this reason, FIG. 8 shows an alternative interface surface structure scheme for reducing two reflecting surfaces. The interface surface of the AOFBI base portion 16 is a spherical surface with a small arc recess. The interface surface portion 16P of the standard advanced optical fiber bus interface AOFBI is a spherical surface with a small arc protrusion. Concave The direction of the surface is opposite to the direction of gravity, and a transparent high-refractive oil 26 is placed at the bottom of the concave surface. In this way, when the two interfaces are facing closer, the air is discharged by the oil surface as the interface faces closer. The interface of the two interfaces Between 17 is filled with evenly distributed oil. The light beam 27 of the optical fiber array on the interface surface can reach the other side of the interface through the oil-immersed interface instead of the air interface. In this process, the reflection of the two reflecting surfaces is greatly eliminated.
图 1一图 4中的 AOFBI和 AOFBI基座的光纤阵列可被划分为 5个通道 接口, 每个通道都有 64或 128或 256位。 这 5个通道可以命名为共享数据 广播通道 B, 共享控制信号通道 C, 专用数据通道 Dl、 D2、 D3。 在图 1 和图 2的 BU中, 底板 9有一个角是缺角的, 这个缺角附近的 AOFBI基座 被编号为 1, 然后按顺时针的方向, 依次编号 AOFBI基座 2、 3、 4。 底板 9为双层结构, 夹层是光纤总线分布层。 图中的 10就是露出来的基座与基 座光纤孔间的连接光缆总线, 任何一对光纤孔之间的光纤长度都是相等 的, 这样可以保证 BU内延时的一致性和信号的同时到达。 底板 9提供 AOFBI基座的电气连接。 底板 9上还提供供本 BU使用的光同步信号源, 频率为 1G、 5G、 10GHz。 这些同步信号将通过 AOFBI基座向 IDU和桥接 器提供控制用的同步信号。 每块 BU都有一个序列号可供 IDU和桥接器读 取, 这个序列号是唯一的, 它在多先进光纤总线 Multi-AOFB 内的远程寻 址中起非常关键的作用。 每个 AOFBI基座的基座号都是可读取的, 这是 为提供寻址所必须的。  The fiber arrays of the AOFBI and AOFBI pedestals in Figure 1 to Figure 4 can be divided into 5 channel interfaces, each channel has 64 or 128 or 256 bits. These five channels can be named shared data broadcast channel B, shared control signal channel C, and dedicated data channels D1, D2, D3. In the BU of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, one corner of the bottom plate 9 is notched. The AOFBI base near the notch is numbered 1, and then the AOFBI bases are numbered 2, 3, 4 in a clockwise direction. . The bottom plate 9 is a double-layer structure, and the interlayer is a fiber bus distribution layer. The number 10 in the figure is the connecting optical cable bus between the exposed base and the fiber holes of the base. The fiber length between any pair of fiber holes is equal, so that the consistency of the delay in the BU and the signal can be guaranteed Arrivals. The base plate 9 provides electrical connection to the AOFBI base. An optical synchronization signal source for the use of this BU is also provided on the bottom plate 9 with a frequency of 1G, 5G, 10GHz. These synchronization signals will provide synchronization signals for control to the IDU and the bridge through the AOFBI base. Each BU has a serial number that can be read by the IDU and the bridge. This serial number is unique and it plays a key role in remote addressing within the Multi-Advanced Fiber Bus Multi-AOFB. The base number of each AOFBI base is readable, which is necessary to provide addressing.
图 2的 BU上编号为 1, 2, 3, 4的 AOFBI基座, 其光纤阵列上的 Dl、 D2、 D3通道接口合起来共有 12个接口, 如图 6所示它们用 6条专用 光纤通道连接, 具体拓扑关系为: 1D1-2D1 , 1D2-3D2 , 1D3-4D3 , 2D2- 4D2, 2D3-3D3 , 3D1-4D1 0 这样一种结构提供了极为强大的数据传输能 力, 以图 1为例, 5是 CPU, 6是存储器, 7是图形处理器 GPU, 8是 T- Bridge的话, 这个系统内可能会发生以下一系列的操作: CPU用 1D1通道 通过存储器的 2D1接口向地址 al写一个数据, CPU的另一个进程从 1D1 通道读取从存储器送出的 a2地址的一个数据, GPU通过 3D3从存储器 a3 地址读取一个数据块, GPU将三维着色后的 RGB数据通过 3D1送到 T- Bridge的 4D1接口然后再送去显示器, T-Bridge将来自硬盘的数据块通过 4D2、 2D2送向存储器的 a4地址的磁盘缓冲区进行更新操作, GPU和 CPU通过 1D2、 3D2进行一个会话。 在现在的 PC机里, 上面的大多数操 作必须通过排队分时占用总线一个一个地完成, 但是在先进光纤总线系统 里, 上面的一系列操作可以通过 6个独立通道同时进行。 当然, 前提条件 是 IDU内部支持多任务, 例如 IDU存储器要能同时读写 4个不同地址的 数据。 The AOFBI bases numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the BU in FIG. 2 have a total of 12 interfaces on the D1, D2, and D3 channel interfaces on the fiber array. As shown in FIG. 6, they use 6 dedicated fiber channels. The specific topology relationship is: 1D1-2D1, 1D2-3D2, 1D3-4D3, 2D2- 4D2, 2D3-3D3, 3D1-4D1 0. Such a structure provides extremely powerful data transmission capabilities. Taking Figure 1 as an example, 5 is CPU, 6 is memory, 7 is graphics processor GPU, 8 is T- In the case of Bridge, the following series of operations may occur in this system: The CPU uses a 1D1 channel to write a data to the address al through the 2D1 interface of the memory, and another process of the CPU reads a data from the a2 address sent from the memory from the 1D1 channel. The GPU reads a data block from the memory a3 address through 3D3. The GPU sends the 3D colored RGB data to the 4D1 interface of T-Bridge through 3D1 and then sends it to the display. T-Bridge passes the data block from the hard disk through 4D2, 2D2 The disk buffer sent to the a4 address of the memory is used for the update operation, and the GPU and the CPU perform a session through 1D2 and 3D2. In current PCs, most of the above operations must be completed one by one by queuing and sharing the bus one by one, but in advanced fiber-optic bus systems, the above series of operations can be performed simultaneously through six independent channels. Of course, the prerequisite is that IDU internally supports multitasking. For example, the IDU memory must be able to read and write data at 4 different addresses at the same time.
图 2的 BU上编号为 1, 2, 3, 4的 AOFBI基座, 其光纤阵列上的 B和 C通道是通过一种特殊的耦合光纤结构来连接的。 例如 C通道的第一位 C(0), BU上有 4个 C(0)分别是: 1C(0)、 2C(0)、 3C(0)、 4C(0), 它们的光 纤孔内引出的单根光纤在出了 AOFBI基座的光纤埋孔后, 就各自分成两 叉, 光路也同时分成两叉, 4个 C(0)对应 8根分叉光纤, 然后 8根光纤结 成图 5的 4片花瓣样的结构, 中间显示出它们又再重新 4根汇成一根光 纤, 而且每个光路的光纤距离都严格相等。 这样的特殊结构可以使得任何 一个 C(0)发出的光信号都能同时到达另 3个 C(0)。 多个这样的特殊耦合光 纤集合起来就形成了图 5的 B、 C通道的总线结构。 共享数据通道必须用 上面那样的连接方式来彼此连接, 因为光信号和电信号不同, 它是定向传 递的, 不能象电信号那样随意拐弯, 每个需要拐弯、 分叉、 汇合的地方都 要进行仔细的特别处理。 光信号的这个特性决定了光总线的物理结构和连 接关系绝对不能和电气总线相同。 广播通道的用途在于, 一旦一个 IDU通 过控制通道协议获得了广播数据通道, 它就可以将数据放到广播通道上, 这些数据同时到达另 3个接口而不需要用专用数据通道分 3次将数据送达 3个接口。 The AOFBI pedestals numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the BU in FIG. 2 are connected with the B and C channels on the fiber array through a special coupling fiber structure. For example, the first C (0) of the C channel, and the 4 C (0) on the BU are: 1C (0), 2C (0), 3C (0), 4C (0), which are led out from the fiber hole After exiting the optical fiber buried hole of the AOFBI base, the single optical fiber is divided into two forks respectively, and the optical path is also divided into two forks at the same time. The four C (0) correspond to eight branched optical fibers, and then the eight optical fibers are combined into FIG. 5 The 4 petal-like structures in the middle show that they are reassembled into 4 optical fibers again, and the optical fiber distances of each optical path are strictly equal. Such a special structure can make the optical signal from any C (0) reach the other 3 C (0) at the same time. A plurality of such special coupling fibers are aggregated to form a bus structure of the B and C channels of FIG. 5. The shared data channel must be connected to each other by the connection method as above. Because the optical signal and the electrical signal are different, it is directional and cannot be turned at will like the electrical signal. Every place that needs to turn, split, and merge must be carried out. Careful special handling. This characteristic of the optical signal determines that the physical structure and connection relationship of the optical bus must not be the same as the electrical bus. The purpose of the broadcast channel is that once an IDU communicates After obtaining the broadcast data channel through the control channel protocol, it can put data on the broadcast channel, and these data reach the other 3 interfaces at the same time, without using a dedicated data channel to send the data to the 3 interfaces in 3 times.
桥接器是先进光纤总线系统中的重要部件, 它负责数据转发、 信号转 换的工作。 一个提供完整转发功能的转发器通常要有极强的数据处理能力 和足够大的数据缓冲区, 它要建立总线拓扑表, 将跨 BU的寻址数据放到 正确的端口上, 如果是跨系统的数据交换, 就要有一个信号转换层, 将先 进光纤总线的信令和数据转换成系统外的控制和接口信号。 这些转换工作 通过转换桥接器(T-Bridge) 来进行。 交换桥接器 (S-Bridge) 是为先进光 纤总线的多先进光纤总线 Multi-AOFB结构服务的, 通过将 BU和 S- Bridge以不同方式进行连接我们可以得到多种多样的 Multi-AOFB的拓扑 结构。 图 9显示的就是几种常见简单的 4基座 BU组成的 Multi-AOFB拓 扑结构。 Multi-AOFB内跨 BU的操作只有两种: 寻址和数据读写。 这里的 寻址是指一个特定的 IDU对另一特定位置的 IDU和桥接器的数据通道的 要求。 访问一个 IDU只能通过它的 4个通道之一进行访问, 如果 Multi- AOFB总线中有 4个以上的部件, 那么访问失败的可能就会出现。 因为可 能 IDU的 4个通道都被其他 IDU和桥接器占用了。 在这种情况下, 寻址 发起端可以等待, 也可以请求 S桥接器缓存数据和请求, 等到目标通道释 放后再发送过去。 一个两端口的 S桥接器要查询总线拓扑表并控制数据在 6个专用数据通道和 2个广播数据通道间传递, 同时还要分析来自 2个控 制通道的信令。 在 BU内 IDU之间的寻址是不需要等待的, 而且寻址速度 在最快在 2纳秒之内完成 (光纤延时) 在 BU和 BU之间的寻址受到光纤 总线距离和桥接器响应速度的限制速度是比较慢的, 而且会有寻址等待的 可能。 我们把 BU外的寻址称为远程寻址, 经过一个 S桥接器的远程寻址 称为一跳, 经过两个 S桥接器的远程寻址称为两跳, 经过 3个 S桥接器的 远程寻址称为 3跳, 以此类推。 Bridges are important components in advanced fiber-optic bus systems. They are responsible for data forwarding and signal conversion. A repeater that provides complete forwarding functions usually has extremely strong data processing capabilities and a sufficiently large data buffer. It needs to establish a bus topology table and place addressing data across BUs on the correct ports. If it is across systems For data exchange, a signal conversion layer is needed to convert the signaling and data of the advanced fiber-optic bus into control and interface signals outside the system. These conversions are performed by a conversion bridge (T-Bridge). Switch Bridge (S-Bridge) is for the advanced fiber bus Multi-AOFB structure. By connecting BU and S-Bridge in different ways, we can get a variety of Multi-AOFB topologies. . Figure 9 shows the Multi-AOFB topology consisting of several common and simple 4-base BUs. There are only two operations across BUs in Multi-AOFB: addressing and data reading and writing. Addressing here refers to the requirements of a specific IDU for the data channel of the IDU and the bridge in another specific location. An IDU can only be accessed through one of its 4 channels. If there are more than 4 components in the Multi-AOFB bus, access failure may occur. Because the 4 channels of the IDU may be occupied by other IDUs and bridges. In this case, the addressing initiator can wait, or request the S-bridge to buffer data and requests, and wait until the target channel is released before sending. A two-port S-bridge needs to query the bus topology table and control data transfer between 6 dedicated data channels and 2 broadcast data channels, and also analyze the signaling from the 2 control channels. The addressing between IDUs in the BU does not need to wait, and the addressing speed is completed within the fastest 2 nanoseconds (fiber delay). The addressing between the BU and the BU is affected by the fiber bus distance and bridge The limit of the response speed is relatively slow, and there may be an address waiting. We call the addressing outside the BU remote addressing, remote addressing via an S-bridge It is called a hop, remote addressing through two S-bridges is called two-hop, remote addressing through three S-bridges is called 3-hop, and so on.
前面讨论的总线系统只考虑了光纤内传输一个载波的情况, 事实上一 根光纤理论上可以传输成百上千个不同频带的载波。 这些载波可以看成是 在一个光纤通道内重新分出的多个传输通道, 如果利用波分技术, IDU及 桥接器与桥接器之间可以使用的通道就不是 5个而是更多了。 尤其是桥接 器与桥接器之间的数据传输, 最有需要利用波分复用技术获得更大的数据 传输能力。 由此可见, 先进光纤总线系统的系统传输容量是十分巨大的。 多点对多点传输的潜力还可以继续发掘。  The bus system discussed earlier only considers the case of transmitting one carrier within the optical fiber. In fact, an optical fiber can theoretically transmit hundreds or thousands of carriers in different frequency bands. These carriers can be regarded as multiple transmission channels re-divided in one fiber channel. If the wavelength division technology is used, the number of channels that can be used between the IDU and the bridge and the bridge is not five but more. Especially for the data transmission between the bridge and the bridge, it is most necessary to use the wavelength division multiplexing technology to obtain greater data transmission capabilities. It can be seen that the system transmission capacity of the advanced optical fiber bus system is very huge. The potential of multipoint-to-multipoint transmission can still be explored.
先进光纤总线可以广泛应用于并行计算机系统、 神经网络计算系统, 同时它还可以应用于个人计算机系统。 目前的 PC标准的个人计算机的电 气总线无法承载未来千兆以上内部主频的 CPU。 因此有必要把现在的 PC 软件平台移植到先进光纤总线标准的系统中, 完全兼容的移植是可能的, 但是要解决一些技术问题。 首先要解决指令集兼容的问题, 象 Intel的 x86 系列处理器的 OUT指令、 IN指令、 中断机制、 DMA机制都是先进光纤总 线系统所不能兼容的。 解决这个问题的方法是在 x86的现有架构之下设置 一个控制信号转换层, 将 x86的外部控制信号转换成先进光纤总线信号, 将先进光纤总线信号中关于 I/O, 中断, DMA的转换信号送去 T桥接器, 由 T桥接器的转换层将相关信号还原并送去相应的接口如中断控制器、 各 种外部设备。  The advanced fiber bus can be widely used in parallel computer systems and neural network computing systems, and it can also be applied to personal computer systems. The current PC-standard personal computer's electrical bus cannot carry CPUs with internal gigabit frequencies in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to transplant the current PC software platform to the system of the advanced optical fiber bus standard. Fully compatible migration is possible, but some technical problems must be solved. First of all, the problem of instruction set compatibility must be solved. For example, the OUT instruction, IN instruction, interrupt mechanism, and DMA mechanism of Intel's x86 series processors are not compatible with advanced fiber optic bus systems. The method to solve this problem is to set a control signal conversion layer under the existing architecture of x86, convert the x86 external control signals into advanced optical fiber bus signals, and convert the advanced optical fiber bus signals about I / O, interrupts, and DMA. The signal is sent to the T bridge, and the relevant layer of the T bridge is used to restore the relevant signals and send them to the corresponding interfaces such as interrupt controllers and various external devices.
