Abstract
Cost sensitive applications for parallel computing require system
designs using commodity hardware. Off-the-shelf processing node
have already been implemented in parallel systems. This article
proposes the use of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) for interconnection
networks. Because ATM was not designed as communication technology
for parallel systems, some adaptation has to be done in order
to meet the special requirements of parallel systems. This paper
discusses advantages and drawbacks of this approach and shows
solutions to adapt the ATM technology for usage in this special
environment while preserving some unique features of ATM. |
