Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of Responsive Processor for parallel/distributed real-time control, which can control various embedded systems including robots, home automation, factory automation, etc. Responsive Processor integrates an MPU core (SPARC), four Responsive Links for real-time communication, and many peripheral functions including SDRAM I/F, DMAC, PCI, USB, PWM generators, pulse counters, A/D converters, D/A converters, etc., in an ASIC chip. At the core part of the chip, Responsive Link provides the scalable real-time communication by four pairs of a full-duplex event link and a full-duplex data link. Each packet on the link is prioritized to enable overtaking and shortcut routing. Many kinds of control systems can be composed by connecting Responsive Processors using Responsive Links.
