The high-performance networking (HPN) group has a long and successful history on research with high-performance computer networks (e.g. system-area networks, local-area networks, etc.) for high-performance computing and high-performance embedded computing. For the past decade, the group has been working with a variety of cutting-edge HPN technologies such as 10 Gigabit and Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, RapidIO, Scalable Coherent Interface (SCI), Myrinet, Fibre Channel, ATM, SuperHIPPI, Giganet cLAN, Synfinity, etc. A broad range of testbed experiments, coupled with the development of a number of simulative and analytical models for HPNs, have led to new and better insight about the inherent performance characteristics and tradeoffs of HPN protocols and technologies for application in general-purpose HPC systems as well as embedded and real-time systems.
