Throughput, power consumption, signal integrity, pin count and routing complexity are all increasingly important interconnect issues that the system designer must deal with. Recen...
A link is an unreliable FIFO channel. As we mentioned earlier, it is an abstraction of a point-topoint wire or of a simple broadcast LAN. It is unreliable because noise or other ph...
Scheduling DAGs with communication times is the theoretical basis for achieving efficient parallelism on distributed memory systems. We generalize Graham's task-level in a ma...
The overhead of copying data through the central processor by a message passing protocol limits data transfer bandwidth. If the network interface directly transfers the user'...

Data replication permits a better network bandwidth utilization and minimizes the effect of latency in large-scale systems such as computing grids. However, the cost of maintainin...
