The A-NET machine is adesigned as a part of a parallel object-oriented total architecture, which is to consist of a thousand nodes to gain massively parallel processing. Each node includes 2main units, Processing Element (PE) and Router(RT).The PE executes methods according to the messages received from the Router and send/receive messages to/from other PEs via RT. The Router, which acts as message and object forwarder, is connected to other nodes through six 8-bit buses. It also has one link to the Host Machine. The A- NET machine belongs to the direct network system category[2] and all the nodes are not directly connected to each other. Hence it is necessary to define a network topology for node connections. While most of the parallel computers have a predefined network topology ,A-NET machine is completely topology-programmable. As a result, any kind of topology; e.g.2D-mesh,3D-mesh, torus, hypercube, etc.,can be applied to the A-NET. In this paper the whole architecture of the RT is briefly d-escribed and the PE-Router internal-node transmission mechanism, which is performed by the PE-Router Interface(PEIF) unit, will be introduced in more detail.
