Abstract

This paper advocates a certain type of computer network which we call a cluster network. The name is derived from the characteristic topology of the network which consists of processors grouped into clusters. The cluster design presented here assumes that: (1) processors are physically near each other; (2) each processor has a local memory; (3) network control of scheduling, resource allocation, and interprocess communication will be implemented in software.
