Comparison between Work Outputs by High Speed Performance and by Normal Speed Performance

Micro-benchmark level performance comparison of high-speed cluster interconnects

In this paper, we present a comprehensive performance evaluation of three high speed cluster interconnects: InfiniBand, Myrinet and Quadrics. We propose a set of microbenchmarks to characterize different performance aspects of these interconnects. Our micro-benchmark suite includes not only traditional tests and performance parameters, but also those specifically tailored to the interconnects’ ...

Design and Performance of High-Speed VCSELs

Over the past several years, high-speed vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have been the subject of intensive worldwide research due to their applications in optical interconnects and optical data networks. The performance of VCSELs, especially with respect to their high-speed characteristics, has made significant progress. In this chapter, we first present the basic theory for cu...

Performance of Competing High-Speed TCP Flows

The goal of recent high-speed TCP implementations is to allow scientists who have access to new high-speed networks to efficiently transfer large datasets to their remote colleagues. As of yet, there is no standard high-speed TCP. Because of this, scientists using one high-speed protocol may find themselves sharing a link with scientists using a different high-speed protocol. Previous work has ...

Performance Issues in High Speed Networks

H. G. Perros Department of Computer Science North Carolina State University Raleigh, NC 27695 USA In recent years, there has been a strong drive towards developing high speed networks. Designers are currently being faced with a wide range of performance problems varying from understanding the performance of a switch architecture to implementing efficient congestion control mechanisms and light-...
