A concurrent network architecture for cost-efficient parallel computing using workstation clusters

摘要: Abstract Within the past few years, workstation clusters have gained an increasing importance as platforms for parallel high-performance simulation problems. In contrast to specialized and cost-intensive interconnection network of distributed memory multiprocessor systems, utilize local area networks (LANs) common communication protocols. Therefore, cost-efficiency tasks is high while performance limited compared computer systems. To improve clusters, new protocols can be applied well networks. On one hand, these solutions decrease on other hand because technologies such FastEthernet, GigaEthernet or ATM. this contribution, we propose through concurrent architecture (CNA) with multi-channel Through use independent LANs, a cluster improved maintaining wide-spread LAN technology This paper gives overview CNA, requirements implementation evaluation CNA cluster.
