We propose an approach for virtualizing off-the-shelf Ethernet switches that have built-in support for creating isolated bandwidth partitions on their data-plane interfaces. Our

We consider unicast-based pipelined broadcast schemes for clusters connected by multiple Ethernet switches. By splitting a large broadcast message into segments and broadcasting the segments in a pipelined fashion, pipelined broadcast may achieve very high performance. We develop algorithms

Simplicity, cost effectiveness, scalability, and the economies of scale make Ethernet a popular choice

By splitting a large broadcast message into segments and broadcasting the segments in a pipelined fashion, pipelined broadcast can achieve high performance in many systems. In this paper, we investigate techniques for efficient pipelined broadcast on clusters connected by multiple Ethernet switches

. The present work, the objective is to design Ethernet switch cabinet/enclosure and the faceplate on which the Ethernet switch enclosure is mounted. Design considerations are made according to equipment requirement and IEEE and IEC standards. Sheet metal module in PRO-E is used to create 3D CAD models

. As switches that implement the standard become available and are deployed, it is important to understand how their energy consumption depends on the number of active ports and their traffic. In this paper the energy consumption of small Energy Efficient Ethernet switches is analyzed in several experiments

) and on Linux clusters with a high-bandwidth/low latency network. On Ethernet switched clusters, however, the scaling typically breaks down as soon as more than two computational nodes are involved. For an 80k atom MD test system, exemplary speedups SpN on N CPUs are Sp8 = 6.2, Sp16 = 10 on a Myrinet dual-CPU 3
