ABSTRACT:
This invention is a high performance, standard IO interconnect "bridge" hardware for a parallel machine with a packet switching network in place. Combining new hardware and new software, this bridge connects parallel processors to the external world. The hardware is a "bridge" connecting an internal inter-processor switch to external asynchronous transfer node networks. The software is a "mirror" for making the connections. The invention provides high bandwidth, low latency and deterministic performance, and is inexpensive to build.
