Advanced Scalable Networking Technology

Abstract

The Advanced Scalable Network Technology (ASNT) effort was a very ambitious project with several significant research facts: the split network concept, the Trans-scalar Programming Model, subnet integration protocols and techniques identified in the initial goals along with the DES encryption VLSI. The results show the split network concept to be very powerful, providing a 50% increase in communication traffic before congestion and two orders of magnitude less variance in latency on a low-latency control network. The DES VLSI implementation proved the feasibility of real-time DES support which is essential for applications requiring security, high throughput and low latency. The Trans-scalar Programming Model effort produced a hierarchical framework to solve scalable programming problems and led to a parallel version of heapsort and a scale-invariant hardware architecture. Moreover, the ASNT hardware implementation is being used as a host and test bed for PIM (Processor in Memory devices on the DIVA (Data Intensive Architecture) project.
