Abstract: This paper presents the communication architecture of the START-VOYAGER system, a parallel machine composed of a cluster of unmodified IBM 604e-based SMP's connected via a high speed interconnection network. A custom network interface unit (NIU) plugs into a processor card slot of each SMP, providing a high-performance message passing substrate that supports both fast user-level message passing and cache-line coherent shared memory. The substrate consists of four hardware implemented message... (Update)
