Design and Implementation of an Efficient Communication Protocol Based on Hyper Transport

An efficient communication protocol is a foundation of Cluster system´s communication networks. In this paper, an underlying communication protocol which provides a shared buffer communication for interconnection system whose CPUS are connected by the Hyper Transport bus is proposed. The experiments show that the proposed shared buffer communication method is far more efficient than that adopts Ethernet or IB network between hosts, which greatly improve the communication performance of the cluster.
