Gigabit Network Communications Research

Abstract

The ATOMIC project utilizes inexpensive fine-grain multicomputer components to create a multi-gigabit per second local area network. This unique approach leverages recent DARPA supported research at Caltech by Prof. Charles Seitz and his students. That research produced dense and extremely fast Mosaic single-chip multicomputer nodes. ATOMIC is a unique example of network development that grows upwards from multicomputer machine networking into the domain of a LAN. The principal concerns for this quarter were performance improvement and testing of the SPARCstation ATOMIC SBus card and modification to allow multicast.
