Abstract

A computing system's internal interconnect is a key determiner of its cost, performance, and reliability. The Sun Fireplane interconnect, used inside the Sun Microsystems UltraSPARC III generation of servers and workstations, builds on three generations of interconnects, and provides a significant increase in performance and system bandwidth.
