Urgency of the research. The task of increasing fault tolerance is one of the key tasks in constructing a computing system and in modernizing an already existing one. Particular attention is paid to it when building multicomputer systems or clusters. The most interesting ways to increase fault tolerance is to use the topological structure of the system to bypass the malfunction and use one or another element of the system to replace the faulty. Of course, this requires the development of a specific topology. The article deals with the development offault-tolerant versions of popular topologies, such as quasiquantum and hypercube, based on the excess code 0/1 /-1.

Target setting. An important part of any multicomputer system or cluster is its topological structure. This structure defines the routing of messages in the system, speed of message transmission, and level offault-tolerance of a system. The article proposes a method for increasing fault-tolerance based on the use of excess code. topology binary code tolerant

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Synthesis of topologies such as the hypercube or the de Bruin topology is well studied and described now, there are papers consider methods for increasing the fault-tolerance that based on usage of additional nodes that duplicate current nodes. Other papers consider using a tree-based routing to improve fault-tolerance of the system.

Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Now the possibilities of using excess code 0/1/-1 for creating new fault-tolerant topologies based on existing synthesis methods are unconsidered.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ НАДЛИШКОВОГО КОДУ ДЛЯ ПОБУДОВИ ВІДМОВОСТІЙКИХ ТОПОЛОГІЙ

Актуальність теми дослідження. Завдання підвищення відмовостійкості є одним із головних завдань при побудові обчислювальної системи і при модернізації вже існуючої. Особливу увагу їй приділяють при побудові мульти- комп'ютерних систем чи кластерів. Найбільш цікавими способами збільшення відмовостійкості є використання топологічної структури системи для обходу несправності та використання того чи іншого елемента системи для заміщення несправного. Звісно, це потребує розробки специфічної топології. У статті розглянуто розробку відмо- востійких версій популярних топологій, таких як квазіквантова та гіперкуб, на основі надлишкового коду 0/1/-1.

Target setting

An important part of any multicomputer system or cluster is its topological structure. It describes how computing elements are interconnected. This structure defines the routing of messages in the system, speed of message transmission, and level of fault- tolerance of a system. Level of fault-tolerance represents the ability of the system to function correctly in the failure of its constituent parts. Therefore, we propose a method to improve fault tolerance, based on the usage of excess code.

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis

Synthesis of topologies such as the hypercube or the de Bruin topology (also called quasi-quantum) is well studied and described. Many papers consider methods for increasing the fault-tolerance that based on usage of additional nodes that duplicate current nodes. Other papers consider using a tree-based routing to improve fault-tolerance of the system and to prevent locks.

Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Now the possibilities of using excess code 0/1/-1 for creating new fault-tolerant topologies based on existing synthesis methods are unconsidered.

The research objective

The purpose of the research is a synthesis of new topologies based on quasi-quantum and hypercube topologies using an excess code for encoding nodes numbers. Also, it is necessary to make a detailed analysis of the system's characteristics and routing capabilities. Special attention will be paid to the issues of fault-tolerance.

The statement of basic materials

The task of topology synthesis defined: there are M nodes, their numbers are encoded by some code. Usually, M = BN, where B - the basis of the chosen numeral system or code, N - a numeral bit capacity of nodes numbers. One of the goals of this task to get for each node all codes of its neighbors. To achieve that some transformation with node's code is used.

Basic definitions

De Bruin topology and the hypercube are quite convenient in terms of routing. In the classic version [1-4], the binary numeral system is used for encoding of nodes numbers. It means, the maximal count of nodes for N - bit code is 2N The difference between these topologies is as follows: to synthesis de Bruin topology Shuffle transformation is used, and to synthesis hypercube Exchange is used. In the binary numeral system, these approaches looks like shift and bit's inversion respectively.

Synthesis of topology using binary code. Below, the synthesis process for each of the selected topologies in the case of N=2 and N=3 is shown.

In de Bruin topology getting of neighbor node's code performs through shifts on left and right with insertion 0 or 1 in released bit. Table 1 shows synthesis of this topology for case N = 2, table 2 - for N = 3.

About excess code 0/1/-1. The excess code 0/1/-1 differs from the usual binary code with the presence of an additional number -1. It is denoted by the character T. All other properties, including the weight of the digits, are the same as for usual binary code. The main feature of this code is: one number in this code sometimes can be presented in several ways. For example, the number 3 in 3-digits excess code can be written as 011, 10T and 1T1. The maximal count of representations growth with a bit capacity of code. Also, unlike to usual binary code, this code includes the negative numbers.

Synthesis of topology using excess code. The synthesis process is similar, but it differs that digit T now is used in the process of insertion/replacement. In case of quasi-quantum topology, it used as an additional variant of insertion on shift. In case of hypercube: there are two variants of exchange for every digit, not only one. Table 5 shows de Bruin topology synthesis based on 2-digit excess code. Table 6 shows similar synthesis for hypercube.

Using redundancy. There are several ways of using the proposed redundancy. Firstly, existing of several nodes with same numbers allows uniting those nodes in a cluster. This allows, to hide their essence from the user. In case of a node failure, another element in a cluster can take it's role. Also, the encoding allows access to each element separately. It allows to increase the system's performance in case of failure-free working through the use of additional elements.

The alternative way of using redundancy is a fault-tolerant routing [6-7], based on routing trees. The top of the tree is a node with same values of digits in the code. Those trees are constructed as follows: in case of quasi-quantum topology node's code is shifting left with insertion. In case of hypercube one digit in the code is inverted. If K-th digit been inverted on the previous step, on the next step we can invert only lower digits relative to K.

Usage of routing trees is follows: the routing program analyzes the next node on a route and if this node is busy or faulty, the transition on an alternative tree is performing. Thus, the task of bypassing the faulty nodes is solved simply and effectively. Also, this approach helps to decrease the probability of locking data transfer. If a needed node is busy while data transfer, this method allows to find free node using a transition on an alternative tree [8].

Fig. 9 Routing trees for classic hypercube topology

Of course, in case of failure of two and more nodes the malfunction bypassing can be difficult or even impossible to do, using the routing trees. In the case of fault-tolerant topologies, there are three elements with the same digits in code, not only two. As result, the 3 routing trees can be designed, and failure of 2 elements will not lead to system failure. Moreover, if elements with the same number have been substituted by clusters or multiprocessor systems, then it is possible usually to bypass the malfunction, by delivering information not through “original” node. In this situation, it is possible to use a node with the same number but with a different code.

Conclusions

In this paper method for fault-tolerant topology synthesis was proposed. It is based on using the excess code. Tree-based routing method considered, that allows to bypass the faulted nodes.

The advantages of proposed topologies are: a higher level of fault tolerance, which is achieved with the using of an additional tree, and the possibility of substitution nodes with same numbers in clusters, that additionally increases the fault tolerance of system and allows at the same time to abstract from the structure of clusters and access to concrete elements. It prevents the inaction of elements and associated loss of performance.

However, proposed solutions has disadvantages too. Firstly, it is the power increasing. As can be seen from the table, power of de Bruin topology is always equal to 4, while power for hypercube is equal to the number of bits in the code of nodes. Excess code usage increases the power of both topologies. For the de Bruin topology, power become equal to 6 and it isn't depending of the number of nodes. In case of usage excess encoding for hypercube, the power increases as 2N, where N is the number of digits of the encoding. It means that if N = 4 the power of hypercube will be equal to 8, while the optimal for realization is the value of this parameter from 4 to 6. As a result, the complexity of this topology increases with large N.

There are several possible options to improve the solutions developed. First, if necessary, it is possible to reduce the number of elements, by assigning to the same element different codes with the same value. Second, it is possible to remove some connections that are not used in trees, thereby reducing the cost on designing the system. Thirdly, it is possible to duplicate the key elements of trees, thereby increasing the fail-tolerance of the entire system.
