ATLAS II: Optimizing a 10Gbps Single-Chip ATM Switch
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe ATLAS II, an optimized version of the ATLAS I ATM switch. While in ATLAS I we concentrated on correctness, in ATLAS II we concentrate on optimizing the area and the performance of the switch. To achieve these goals we utilize improved design techniques and circuitry, and we eliminate functionalities of marginal benefit. Our results show that we can achieve significant performance and cost benefits, requiring only a small increment in manpower.

ATLAS I: A Single-chip ATM switch for NOWs
Although ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), is a widely accepted standard for WANs (Wide Area Networks), it has not yet been widely embraced by the NOW community, because (i) most current ATM switches (and interfaces) have high latency, and and (ii) they drop cells when (even short-term) congestion happens. In this paper, we present ATLAS I, a single-chip ATM switch with 20 Gbits/sec aggregate I...

متن کاملCredit-Flow-Controlled ATM for MP Interconnection: The ATLAS I Single-Chip ATM Switch
Multiprocessing (MP) on networks of workstations (NOW) is a high-performance computing architecture of growing importance. In traditional MP’s, wormhole routing interconnection networks use fixed-size flits and backpressure. In NOW’s, ATM −one of the major contending interconnection technologies− uses fixed-size cells, while backpressure can be added to it. We argue that ATM with backpressure h...

متن کاملCredit-Flow-Controlled ATM versus Wormhole Routing
ATM has been adopted as the main high speed technology in both wide and local area networks. When ATM is combined with credits −the flow control mechanism that is particularly suitable for local data communication− it becomes appropriate for multiprocessor interconnection networks as well. Actually, credit-flowcontrolled ATM has similarities with wormhole routing, one of the most popular archit...
