Abstract

Ever since the first prototypes more than ten years ago, the high-performance interconnect Myrinet has been designed around a revolutionizing concept: scalability lives on the edges. In other words, the switching element of the fabric must be kept very simple and the processing power moved to the network interfaces (NICs).
