“Smarter” NICs for faster algorithms [Slides]
The basic building block of a distributed-memory cluster or supercomputer is a node. Each node includes a host, which is a processor (xPU) + memory hierarchy. The host can communicate with other hosts via its NIC (network interface controller). A network connects the nodes. The nodes may be arranged in some topology, which determines the network’s carrying capacity and cost.
