First SCI node chips from Dolphin were used to demonstrate the use and functioning of SCI’s packet protocols and to measure data rates. We present results from a first,two-node SCI ringlet at CERN, based on a R3000 RISC processor node and DMA node on a MC68040 processor bus. A diagnostic link analyzer monitors the SCI packet protocols up to full link bandwidth. In its second phase, RD24 will build a first implementation of a multi-ringlet SCI data merger. I. BASICS of SCI SCI [1] provides bus like features between SCI nodes in a ringlet. Point-to-point links interconnect the inputs and outputs of SCI nodes (fig 1). These transmit incoming packets either to the output link, or direct them into an input FIFO. Packets which are generated by user-logic on the Cbus [2] side are queued in an output FIFO until the bypass FIFO is empty. In this way, several nodes in a ringlet may be receiving and transmitting simultaneously at the intrinsic node-chip speed to achieve a ringlet bandwidth which is signi?cantly higher than the node chip bandwidth SCI links transport packets as shown schematically in fig 2. A flag signal delimits packets which are composed of data or control symbols, clocked at every transition of the SCI clock. The 16 bit wide link of a GaAS NodeChip? [3] from Dolphin transmits one 16 bit symbol every 2 ns, resulting in a raw link bandwidth of 1 Gbyte/s. SCI packets are framed by a header, containing address and command ?elds, and a CRC trailer. Transactions consist of two subactions: during the request subaction a packet containing addres
