Datacenter networks provide the communication substrate for large
parallel computer systems that form the ecosystem for high
performance computing (HPC) systems and modern Internet
applications. The design of new datacenter networks is motivated by
an array of applications ranging from communication intensive
climatology, complex material simulations and molecular dynamics to
such Internet applications as Web search, language translation,
collaborative Internet applications, streaming video and
voice-over-IP. For both Supercomputing and Cloud Computing the
network enables distributed applications to communicate and
interoperate in an orchestrated and efficient way. This book
describes the design and engineering tradeoffs of datacenter
networks. It describes interconnection networks from topology and
network architecture to routing algorithms, and presents
opportunities for taking advantage of the emerging technology
trends that are influencing router microarchitecture. With the
emergence of "many-core" processor chips, it is evident that we
will also need "many-port" routing chips to provide a
bandwidth-rich network to avoid the performance limiting effects of
Amdahl's Law. We provide an overview of conventional topologies and
their routing algorithms and show how technology, signaling rates
and cost-effective optics are motivating new network topologies
that scale up to millions of hosts. The book also provides detailed
case studies of two high performance parallel computer systems and
their networks. Table of Contents: Introduction / Background /
Topology Basics / High-Radix Topologies / Routing / Scalable Switch
Microarchitecture / System Packaging / Case Studies / Closing
