Commercially viable MPP networks
Stunkel · 1996
Although an enormous variety of network topologies have been proposed, only a handful have been chosen for commercial machines. Of these, an even smaller number possess the characteristics adequate for the often conflicting set of requirements for robustness, efficiency, scalability, and modularity. In this paper we qualitatively examine network topologies based upon these and other issues, and consider the effect of emerging trends in the high-performance marketplace.
