摘要: Communication between processors has long been the bottleneck of distributed network computing. However, recent progress in switch-based high-speed Local Area Networks (LANs) may be changing this situation. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is one most widely-accepted and emerging standards which can potentially satisfy communication needs In paper, we investigate computing over local ATM networks. We first study performance characteristics involving end-to-end an environment that includes several types workstations interconnected via a Fore Systems' ASX-100 Switch. then compare four different Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). The APIs were Systems API, BSD socket programming interface, Sun's Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) message passing library. Each API represents at protocol layer. evaluate parallel Matrix Multiplication network. experimental results show promising
