Increasing integrated-circuit pin bandwidth has motivateda corresponding increase in the
degree or radix of interconnection networksand their routers. This paper introduces the …

TCP Incast plagues scalable cluster-based storage built atop standard TCP/IP-over-
Ethernet, often resulting in much lower client read bandwidth than can be provided by the …

In data grids, many distributed scientific and engineering applications often require access
to a large amount of data (terabytes or petabytes). Data access time depends on bandwidth …

Network-on-chip (NoC) communication fabrics will be increasingly used in many large
multicore system-on-chip designs in the near future. A relevant challenge that arises from …

Three-dimensional network-on-chip (3-D NoC) is an emerging research topic exploring the
network architecture of 3-D ICs that stack several smaller wafers for reducing wire length …

The hierarchical hypercube network is suitable for massively parallel systems. One of its
appealing properties is the low number of connections per processor, which can facilitate …

The ability of parallel computing to process large data sets and handle time-consuming
operations has resulted in unprecedented advances in biological and scientific computing …

Fat H-Tree is a novel tree-based interconnection network providing a torus structure, which
is formed by combining two folded H-Tree networks, and is an attractive alternative to tree …

The multicast operation is a very commonly used operation in parallel applications. It can be
used to implement many collective communication operations as well. Therefore, its …

Up to 1920 processors of a cluster of distributed shared memory machines at the NASA
Ames Research Center are being used to simulate ocean circulation globally at horizontal …
