Abstract:
This technical summary examines the networking technologies presented
at SuperComputing-94 that are used to implement some Scalable Parallel
Processor (SPP) interconnection networks, input/output (I/O) networks,
computer clusters, and traditional local/metropolitan/wide area
network (LAN/MAN/WAN) capabilities. Most technologies discussed here
relate in a broad sense to clustering computers into SPP architectures
for (heterogeneous) distributed computing, although it is conceivable
that distributed computing may extend over WAN distances. Notes from
the Gigabit Networking Roundtable and the Future of the
Internet Panel are also included in this paper.
