Abstract

Transmission rates for two communication schemes: ping/pong and ring transfer have been measured on multiprocessors and clusters of workstations. Performance of a network of computers as a tool for numerically intensive computing has been evaluated on the basis of SLALOM and EP-NAS parallel benchmarks.
