Abstract

This paper proposes a kernel to kernel communicationsystem for use in cluster computers. It is implemented directly on the Ethernet data link layer. This allows use of Ethernet’s inherent broadcast capability. This system is implemented and performance tests are run. The results show significant improvement in broadcast performance.
