Abstract
Networks have always been a central component in the realization of parallel processing. Having multiple processors working concurrently to solve a problem inherently means that there has to be a reliable and well-performing network over which the processors can communicate. Ever since the first parallel machines we have therefore seen research on topics like topologies, switches, links, routing, device drivers, traffic control, fault tolerance, and congestion control specialized for parallel machines.
