Abstract: Several new high-speed network technologies have emerged in the past few years. Some of these networks offer high speed links and switch topology with up to a 100 Mbytes/s transfer rate per link. This is a study to evaluate the performance of these networks in distributed computing environments. Six networks are evaluated here: HiPPI, ATM, Fibre Channel, IBM Allnode switch, FDDI, and Ethernet. These networks are parts of two testbeds: DaVinci - a cluster of 16 SGI R8000 workstations at NASA... (Update)

.... connected by two Ethernet networks: one is public (for file server and other activities) and the other is private (for multiprocessing) [Fat95]. The underlying communication network in a SNOW can be the bottleneck in executing communication intensive distributed programs. When...
.... buffer sizes (8 and 64 Kbytes) were considered, except for HiPPI where 1 Mbytes buffer size was also considered since a previous work [1] showed that HiPPI needs a large buffer to achieve good performance. Each test was run for at least 20 seconds to produce reliable data....
