| High-speed network switch system integrated with fastest CMOS network
switch LSI and large-throughput optical interconnection.
We are developing the RHiNET-2 (RWCP high-performance network -2)
network for RHiNET-2 high-performance computing using personal computers
distributed in an office or laboratory environment. In the RHiNET-2, the
network switch (RHiNET-2/SW) has a one-chip CMOS ASIC switch (784-pin BGA)
and 8.8-Gbit/s optical interconnection modules. This system enables
high-performance parallel processing in a distributed computing
environment.
In the RWC2000, we will display the motherboard of RHiNET-2/SW and
present our research results. |
RHiNET: A network for hgih performance parallel computing using

| RHiNET realizes high performance parallel processing by connecting
computers distributed on one or more floors of a building. Specially
designed network interfaces and network switches, in combination with high
speed optical interconnections, will support fast communication that will
realize high performance parallel processing in a local area distributed
computing environment. In the poster session, the architecture and
organization of the RHiNET system will be explained using Powerpoint
slides, and the first network interface test bed, called RHiNET-1/NI, will
be shown. |

| The Parallel and Distributed System Software Laboratory has been
developing a system software for a seamless parallel and distributed
computing environment where the users are not aware of the underlying
distributed environment, but use the network as if it were a single
system. The SCore version 2 software, running on a cluster of
homogeneouscomputers, was distributed via the Internet in the fall of
1998. SCore has been used not only by Japanese sites but also by national
laboratories and universities in America and universities in Europe. In
the digital poster session, we will show a video introducing the SCore
system software and recording user interviews in Europe.
