Storage Performance over Fast Ethernet, Giga Ethernet, Giga Ethernet TOE and InfiniBand

The performance of network storage systems is often limited by overheads in the I/O path, such as memory copying, network access costs, and protocol overhead. As a result, I/O remains the bottleneck for high-performance data-intensive applications. This paper examines different communication transports and their effect on network storage system’s performance. To accomplish the proposed study, w...

A Performance Evaluation of Emerging Ethernet Technologies: Switched/high-speed/full-duplex Ethernet and Ethernet Lan Emulation over Atm

| The advent of switched LAN and ATM technology is dramatically altering today's networking environment. Given the preponderance of existing Ethernet networks today, high-speed, switched and/or full-duplex Ethernet and Ethernet LAN Em-ulation over ATM are extremely important, as is bridging between Ethernet and ATM. In this paper , we evaluate the performance of these newly emerging technologie...

High Performance Communication using a Gigabit Ethernet

A high performance communication facility, called the GigaE PM, has been designed and implemented for parallel applications on clusters of computers using a Gigabit Ethernet. The GigaE PM provides not only a reliable high bandwidth and low latency communication function, but also supports existing network protocols such as TCP/IP. In the design of the GigaE PM, it is assumed that a Gigabit Ethe...

Scalable, High Performance Ethernet Forwarding Lookup

This poster will describe a new Ethernet forwarding lookup architecture that enables the simple construction of switches that can contain tens of millions of forwarding entries. The core design is based upon recent work on concurrent multi-reader cuckoo hashing [1] to create fast and memory-efficient lookup tables. This work has two primary benefits: First, it suggests that were a need for such...
