Abstract

Switch and system area network architectural designs are significantly influenced by next generation high-performance computer systems and supercomputer technology. As technology evolves, this impact on interconnection network needs to be considered and reevaluated. In this paper we evaluate a communication performance of a high-speed switch and TOFU system area network design by means of network simulations using OMNET++ simulator. The models under investigation have been verified on the basis of parallel program implementations (C++, MPI) on IBM Blade Center.
