Title
Communications in Parallel Architectures and Networks of Workstations: From Standardisation to New Standards
Abstract
Standardisation, which is the rule for PCs and workstation, is quickly expending for parallel machines and networks of workstations. The use of commodities is the key issue to reduce the cost /performance ratio: standard microprocessors, OS, libraries... are used. Standardisation of communications is more difficult if both high performance and protection in multi-user context are wanted. We examine the present trends toward standardisation of communication for parallel machines and networks of workstations. We discuss some software and hardware features to improve performance compared to the usual PVM-Unix-TCP/IP-Ethernet stack of protocols.
