Speeding Up TCP/IP Faster Process Are Not Enough

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview Processor speeds have been increasing exponentially doubling every 18 months or so while network bandwidth has followed a similar (if not higher) rate of improvement doubling every 9-12 months or so. Unfortunately applications that communicate frequently using standard protocols like TCP IP do not seem to improve at similar rates. In this attempt to understand the magnitude and reasons for this gap between processor performance and inter-process communication performance the paper study the execution of TCP/IP on several processors and operating systems that span a time interval of more than eight years.

Linux code is gloriously defect-free

The rates for the two embedded operating systems were 0.1 and 0.3 per 1,000 lines of code. Specifically, Reasoning examined the implementation of TCP/IP, a key networking technology, and found fewer errors in Linux.

Intel developing chip with two brains

Symmetric multiprocessing chips, such as IBM's Power 4 and presumably chips with core hopping, essentially squeeze two equal processors into a single piece of silicon, so that the chip provides the same computing power as a dual-processor server.

VMware offers Linux and Windows at the same time

The Linux VM is not an emulator, the company said, as it has its own IP number and uses the host to communicate with the computer as an application does. The VM supports up to four IDE hard drives, a floppy drive, sound card and uses the TCP/IP...

IBM speeds past HP to supercomputing supremacy

That means the systems don't need a separate, expensive switch to link all the processors, and that doubling the number of processors comes close to doubling the overall performance, said Bill Pulleyblank, a director of IBM's Deep Computing group.
