Interfacing Fast Ethernet to Processors
نویسنده
چکیده
Ethernet has dominated due to the ease-of-use and open standard approach providing true interoperability between equipment in the field. By itself, Ethernet is not strictly a protocol yet it provides the lower ‘hardware’ layers for the higher layer software stacks such as TCP/IP or UDP. So, it would seem the task to network a device should be as simple as ‘bolting on’ an Ethernet transceiver and modifying the software. Indeed, this is basically true, however, the many different interfaces offered by today’s vast number of Processors and FPGAs often adds uncertainty.

ATM and Fast Ethernet Network Interfaces for User-Level Communication
Fast Ethernet and ATM are two attractive network technologies for interconnecting workstation clusters for parallel and distributed computing. This paper compares network interfaces with and without programmable co-processors for the two types of networks using the U-Net communication architecture to provide low-latency and high-bandwidth communication. U-Net provides protected, user-level acce...
متن کاملPerformance Impact of Process Mapping on Small-Scale SMP Clusters - A Case Study Using High Performance Linpack
Typically, a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster loosely couples multiple Symmetric MultiProcessor (SMP) platforms into a single processing complex. Each SMP uses shared memory for its processors to communicate, whereas communication across SMPs goes through the intra-cluster interconnect. By analyzing the communication pattern of processes, it is possible to arrive at a mapping of process...
