What sort of performance in terms of bandwidth and latency can I expect fro= m such an implementation if there is any?=20 Specifically, I am looking for a fairly reliable and efficient implementati= on of AM-2 for SunOS and/or Solaris boxes connected through 10Mbps Ethernet ha= ving compatible library routines to other implementations so that a program=20 written using such a library can be ported to other systems, e.g. Myrinet= =20 without changes to the program. However, I would be very grateful to any=20 information on any software communication layer for 10Mbps Ethernet.=20 Thank you very much in advance. =09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09Cheers, =09=09=09=09=09=09=09=09Se Won |--------------------------------------------------------------------------= --| | Se Won Kim /* =B1=E8 =BC=BC=BF=F8 (EUC-KR Hangul) */ Tel: (+44) 161-27= 5-6292 | | IT 302, Department of Computer Science Fax: (+44) 161-275-6236 = | | University of Manchester, Oxford Road Email: kimsw@cs.man.ac.uk = | | Manchester M13 9PL, United Kingdom http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~kims= w | |<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>= <>| | To seek immediate results is = | | to destroy the possibility of complete understanding = | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------= --| -- Articles to bigrigg+parallel@cs.cmu.edu (Admin: bigrigg@cs.cmu.edu) Archive: http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/internet/usenet/comp.parallel
