Through the Datacenter Bridging task group, IEEE will add four supplements to the 802.1
standard that will both close the performance gap between Ethernet and InfiniBand and …

The power consumption of interconnects is increased as the link bandwidth is improved in
PC clusters. In this paper, we propose an on/off link activation method that uses the static …

Ethernet has been used for connecting hosts in PC clusters, besides its use in local area
networks. Although a layer-2 Ethernet topology is limited to a tree structure because of the …

Exploring the use of all-optical MEM switches on local area network (LAN) to increase
bandwidth and reduce energy cost has received increasing attention. Compared to …

Providing diverse broadband services economically at all time with high quality of services
will be a major challenge for the telecommunication community. Accordingly, this imposes …

This paper presents a novel scheme called per-priority flow control (PPFC) as an extension
to the IEEE802. 3x standard using a simple and efficient node buffer management strategy …

Ethernet has been used for interconnection networks of high-performance computing (HPC)
systems that include PC clusters. Although a layer-2 Ethernet topology is limited to a tree …

Interconnection networks were traditionally confined to multiprocessors where low latency
and high bandwidth were necessary for interprocessor communication. But in the last …

A growing range of applications can benefit from distributed virtual environments (DVEs),
from CAD (computer-aided design) to e-learning (electronic learning), and in a variety of …
