NEW FEATURES
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* Improved gopher indices, now generated from IAFA index files and
  consistent with other indices.

IN PROGRESS
-----------

* Storage of items by content rather than form.  I mean by this, that
things that are currently under 'software' or 'papers' will move to areas
related to the content of the program or document.

* Better keywords for files, using IAFA indices.

	"The Chaos Router Chip: Design and Implementation of an Adaptive
	Router"
	by Kevin Bolding, Sen-Ching Cheung, Sung-Eun Choi, Carl Ebeling, Soha
	Hassoun, Ton Anh Ngo and Robert Wille, Department of Computer Science
	and Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
	In Proceedings of VLSI '93, IFIP, 1993, pp. 311-320.
	ABSTRACT:
	Chaotic routers are randomizing, non-minimal adaptive packet routers
	designed for use in the communication networks of parallel computers.
	Although adaptive routing, and, specifically, chaotic routing, has
	been shown to be superior to oblivious routing in most cases, the
	practical application of adaptive routing to multi-computer networks
	has been difficult to achieve due to the complex nature of adaptive
	routers. A prototype two-dimensional (mesh and torus) chaotic router
	chip has been designed and is being fabricated in a 1:2m CMOS process.
	The chip exhibits high bandwidth, limited only by the speed of the
	off-chip drivers, and low input-to-input latency. To achieve this,
	much attention is given to reducing the critical path complexity of
	the router. The resulting chip is shown to be as good or better than
	state-of-the-art oblivious routers in almost all cases.

	"Design of a Router for Fault-Tolerant Networks"
	by Kevin Bolding and William Yost, Department of Computer Science and
	Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195. In
	Proceedings of the 1994 Parallel Computer Routing and Communication
	Workshop, May 1994, pp. 226-240.
	ABSTRACT:
	As interconnection networks grow larger and larger, the need for
	reliable message delivery in the presence of faults grows as well.
	Unfortunately, most network routing schemes currently in use do not
	provide graceful tolerance of even the most common faults. Because
	routing messages around failed components requires non-minimal
	routing, it makes sense to examine routers which, by design, allow
	packets to take nonminimal routes. Such routers provide a basic level
	of fault-tolerance by allowing messages to be routed around faults,
	without requiring a priori knowledge of their locations. However, the
	mechanisms can be slow and clumsy at times. We augment Chaotic
	routing, a non-minimal adaptive routing scheme, with a limited amount
	of hardware to support fault detection, identification, and
	reconfiguration so that the network can automatically reconfigure
	itself when faults occur. We present a high-level design of these
	mechanisms, driven by the goal of achieving reasonable reliability
	without exorbitant cost.

/pub/parallel/environments/mpi/unify/reports/Message-Passing/mpix-rev1.ps.Z
	"Inter-communicator Extensions to MPI in the MPIX (MPI eXtension)
	Library"
	by Anthony Skjellum, Nathan E. Doss and Kishore Viswanathan,
	Department of Computer Science & NSF Engineering Research Center for
	Computational Field Simulation, Mississippi State University, USA.
	August 3, 1994.
	ABSTRACT:
	MPI is the new standard for multicomputer and cluster message passing
	introduced by the Message-Passing Interface Forum (MPIF) in April
	1994. This paper describes the current inter-communicator interface
	found in MPI and the reasons for its current design. We also motivate
	the need for additional inter-communicator operations and introduce
	the extensions we have included in MPIX (MPI eXtension Library), a
	library of extensions to MPI that we are currently developing.
	Inter-communicators may be used for a variety of purposes such as in
	client/server applications (i.e., I/O and graphics servers) and for
	process management in dynamic process environments and multi-protocol
	implementations; MPI's definitions are unnecessarily restrictive, so
	we extend them here. We discuss the inter-communicator collective
	operations defined in MPIX and illustrate their use. We also discuss
	additional inter-communicator construction routines not in the
	original MPI interface, but that are provided in MPIX. Our final
	contribution is a strategy for extending virtual topologies to support
	inter-communicators with the MPIX inter-communicator library.

/pub/parallel/documents/pario/papers/Kotz/kotz:dapple.ps.Z
	Updated: "A DAta-Parallel Programming Library for Education
	(DAPPLE)" by David Kotz.
	ABSTRACT:
	In the context of our overall goal to bring the concepts of parallel
	computing into the undergraduate curriculum, we set out to find a
	parallel-programming language for student use. To make it accessible
	to students at all levels, and to be independent of any particular
	hardware platform, we chose to design our own language, based on a
	data-parallel model and on C++. The result, DAPPLE, is a C++ class
	library designed to provide the illusion of a data-parallel
	programming language on conventional hardware and with conventional
	compilers. DAPPLE defines Vectors and Matrices as basic classes, with
	all the usual C++ operators overloaded to provide elementwise
	arithmetic. In addition, DAPPLE provides typical data-parallel
	operations like scans, permutations, and reductions. Finally, DAPPLE
	provides a parallel if-then-else statement to restrict the scope of
	the above operations to partial vectors or matrices.

	"Cranium: An Interface for Message Passing on Adaptive Packet Routing
	Networks"
	by Neil R. McKenzie, Kevin Bolding, Carl Ebeling and Lawrence Snyder,
	University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
	ABSTRACT:
	Cranium is a processor-network interface for an interconnection
	network based on adaptive packet routing. Adaptive networks relax the
	restriction that packet order is preserved; packets may be delivered
	to their destinations in an arbitrary sequence. Cranium uses two
	mechanisms: an automatic-receive interface for packet serialization
	and high performance, and a processor-initiated interface for
	flexibility. To minimize software overhead, Cranium is directly
	accessible by user-level programs. Protection for user-level message
	passing is implemented by mapping user-level handles into physical
	node identifiers and buffer addresses.

	PVaniM - Visualizing PVM Executions by Brad Topol & John
	Stasko, College of Computing, Georgia Institute of
	Technology, USA. PVaniM is a new system that provides
	animated program visualizations of the executions of PVM 3.3
	applications. PVaniM includes both a set of graphics views
	and a tracing package to drive the views. Unlike the
	performance visualizations of ParaGraph, PVaniM focuses on
	visualizations of the actual execution and correctness of a
	program.  PVaniM provides a number of views that show
	different perspectives on the dynamics and history of of the
	message passing in an application, as well as a more
	performance oriented Gantt chart view. Graphical objects in a
	PVaniM view also can be queried to determine their
	representation. PVaniM can animate the execution of a program
	according to a logical clock, thus truly presenting the
	(potential) concurrency of the application. Finally, PVaniM
	tracing provides support for custom user event
	tracing. Similarly, users can design and develop their own
	application-specific program views using the Polka animation
	system upon which PVaniM is built. See also

	Updated version of ST C104 Asynchronous Packet Switch -
	Preliminary Datasheet. This is a complete, low latency,
	packet routing switch on a single chip. It connects 32 high
	bandwidth serial communications links to each other via a 32
	by 32 way non-blocking crossbar switch, enabling packets to
	be routed from any of its links to any other link. The links
	operate concurrently and the transfer of a packet between one
	pair of links does not affect the data rate or latency for
	another packet passing between a second pair of links. Up to
	100 Mbits/s on each link or 19 Mbytes/s on a singe
	link. Packet rate processing up to 200 Mpackets/s.  Data is
	transmitted in packets with headers and uses that to wormhole
	via interval labelling routing and Universal Routing to
	eleminate hotspots.
