Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed an interconnection network for Medium Scale Commodity Cluster. This network has originally designed for the Visualization Subsystem of the Sensable Simulation System (Scube) which the authors have been developing. Scube is a 64-nodes PC-based cluster system in which a commodity GPU as the visualization accelerator is configured with each node. There is no dedicated special purpose networks for the numerical simulation and visualization, however, the high cost-performance inter-connection network which we call Three Quads is originally designed for Scube. All the hardware components for this network is essentially the small-scale and commodity hardware designed for Giga-bit Ethernet. The network configuration and its characteristics are discussed in this paper.
