title = "Implementation and evaluation of the mechanisms for low latency communication on DIMMnet-2",
abstract = "DIMMnet-2 is a network interface for PC cluster, plugged into a DIMM slot. Connecting network interface into commonly used memory bus reduces the cost of building PC cluster compared with using expensive machines with recent high performance I/O bus like PCIX. Moreover, low latency communication from the host CPU can be achieved. In this paper, implementation of the mechanisms for low latency communication on the DIMMnet-2 prototype board by making the best use of the memory slot is shown. Its latency for 4 Bytes data transfer is only 1.4 μs which is lower than those of InfiniBand and QsNET II on condition those host processes are Intel Xeon.",
