TNet: a reliable system area network (original) (raw)
ADS
Abstract
A major departure from traditional I/O systems, TNet is a new system area network designed to support current and future needs for reliable, efficient communications among processors and peripherals. It is an extensible hardware-software layer that allows very large configurations by logically and physically isolating processor buses from I/O buses. TNet features wormhole routing, packet-switched transfers, and point-to-point links.
