IP networks today require massive effort to configure and manage. Ethernet is vastly simpler to manage, but does not scale beyond small local area networks. This paper describes ...
In the last decade, cluster computing has become the most popular high-performance computing architecture. Although numerous technological innovations have been proposed to improv...
This paper introduces the Axon, an Ethernet-compatible device for creating large-scale datacenter networks. Axons are inexpensive, practical devices that are demonstrated using pr...

In a small network, clients and servers may all be connected to a single Ethernet without significant performance concerns. As the number of clients on a network grows, the necess...
This paper describes the project, the development and deployment of a Metro Ethernet Network in the city of Morungaba, SP, Brazil. The Ethernet is a widely deployed technology tha...
Most modern parallel computers are clusters using Myrinet or Ethernet communication networks. Several studies have been published comparing the performance of these two networks f...
Operators of data centers want a scalable network fabric that supports high bisection bandwidth and host mobility, but which costs very little to purchase and administer. Ethernet...
