Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| In this document we present the architectural design we develop for the system software, which integrates our new architecture PCI--SCI Bridge with VIA support into the LINUX operating system. The development of this system software is a part of a bigger project, the end goal of which is to build a complete interconnect solution from the hardware to communication libraries and to prove in practice our new architectural concepts. This interconnect solution will be suitable for building inexpensive clusters optimized for running MPI based message-passing applications. The work presented here can serve as a good starting point to a broad range of experimental designs ranging from "pure" VIA and "pure" SCI shared memory communication devices to "combined" VIA-SCI designs like ours. | |||||||||||||||
