Abstract

RHiNET-2/NI is a network interface for a parallel anddistributed computing system with network connected PCs.The core of the network interface is an ASICnetwork controller chip Martini, which provides low-latency and large-bandwidth communication. Evaluation results show that itachieves almost full bandwidth of the 66MHz/64bit PCI bus,which is much larger than that of Myrinet-2000. The performance of a small prototype parallel system achieves almostlinear speed up.
