Abstract.

This paper proposes an interconnection network system for clusters based on parallel links over commodity Ethernet to provide both wide bandwidth and high fault tolerancy. In the proposed scheme, RI2N, multiple links are employed to enhance the total bandwidth in normal mode, or provide redundant connections in failure mode with automatic software control. In a current prototype implementation at the user-level in library, normal mode functionality provides a maximum bandwidth of 40 MByte/sec over four links of Fast Ethernet, and 191 MByte/sec over two links of Gigabit Ethernet.
