ArticlesParaStation Turns PCs into Supercomputers


March 1997 / International What's New / ParaStation Turns PCs into Supercomputers

With the ParaStation communications adapters, you can turn a network of standard PCs into a high-performance, cost-effective, parallel supercomputer. These PCI boards add a communications processor and four link modules to each PC and have their own routing tables, as well as three input buffers and one output on-board. Data transmission takes place on 60-wire flat ribbon cable with a maximu m range of 10 meters. The ParaStation adapters can be configured in either ring or toroidal mesh topologies and achieve a routing delay of only 250 ns per node and a maximum throughput of 15 MBps.
