Development and Implementation of a File System for Gannet Virtual ...

On Gannet system, tasks are executed based on request. The position of a subtask
for a service in the task description determines the way its scheduling. This dataflow
execution guarantees the fastest possible execution of a task by fully exploiting
parallelism. Service manager plays a crucial role as all communication between the
cores is handled by it.
Gannet machine use service manager, a generic circuit, as an interface between the
core system and the network on-chip to provide management data facilities and
rule-based mechanism for core to process a task and deliver the result. Service
manager loads data required for task-level configuration at the boot time, then
process exchange data independently without communicate with the
microcontroller.
2.1.2 Gannet Framework
Gannet system are designed to be able perform concurrency offered by massively
multi-core systems which mean computation will be executed in parallel
(Vanderbauwhede, 2007a). In order to perform such type of computation, Gannet
adopt a functional approach to task graph composition. A service provided by each
IP core can be analogized as a function which has input and output. Functional
composition means that all data are the results of calls of other services.
