摘要
Networks of workstations have become increasingly popular for high performance computing. However, in order to become a real alternative for Massively Parallel Processors (MPPs), reliability and efficiency issues must be tackled. In this paper, we identify the key challenges for very large workstation networks, and describe implementation techniques at system software level to overcome these problems.
