Paper Presentation on MyriNet ( Paper Presentations)
ABSTRACT: Myrinet, ANSI/VITA 26-1998, is a high-speed local
area networking system designed by Myricom to be used as an inter connect between multiple machines to form computer clusters. Myrinet has much less
protocol overhead than standards such as
Ethernet, and therefore provides better throughput, less interference, and lower latency while using the host CPU. Although it can be used as a traditional
networking system, Myrinet is often used directly by programs that "know" about it, thereby bypassing a call into the operating system.
