There is a need for an arrangement that enables a network Switch to perform priority based
Switching of data packets without congestion of the network Switch resources. There is also …

Cluster computing imposes heavy demands on the communication network. Gigabit
Ethernet technology can provide the required bandwidth to meet these demands. However …

Parameter values of a forest landscape model (MO SAIC) are estimated from a terrain
sensitive gap model (FACET) over a large number of terrain types. MOSAIC is a semi …

Generally, TCP is reputed to be too slow and bloated to be useful in high performance
computing. However, it has very definite advantages over proprietary or specialized …

Abstract used for communication, eg, validating the use of memory and making sure that
