Abstract Details

2007, MS, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of Computer Science.
Cluster computing imposes heavy demands on the communication network. Gigabit Ethernet technology can provide the required bandwidth to meet these demands. However, it has also shifted the communication bottleneck from network media to protocol processing. In this thesis, we present an overview of Gigabit Ethernet technology and study the end-to-end Gigabit Ethernet communication bandwidth and latency. Performance graphs are collected using NetPIPE which clearly show the performance characteristics of TCP/IP and VIA over Gigabit Ethernet. Here we discuss the communication performance attainable with a PC cluster connected by a Gigabit Ethernet network. Gigabit Ethernet is the third generation of Ethernet technology and offers raw bandwidth of 1 Gbps. The focus of this work is to discuss the Gigabit Ethernet technology, to evaluate and analyze the end-to-end communication latency and achievable bandwidth, and to monitor the effects of software and hardware components on the overall network performance.
