Most clusters so far have used WAN or LAN-based network products for communication due to their market availability. However, they do not always match communication patterns in cl...
The support on cluster environments of ”legacy protocols” is important to avoid rewriting the code of applications, but this support should not prevent to achieve the maximum ...
I/O placement has always been a concern in modern IC design. Due to flip-chip technology, I/O can be placed throughout the whole chip without long wires from the periphery of the...
