BCL-3 provides flexible and sufficient functionality to fulfill the commu- nication requirements of fundamental system software developed for DAWNING-3000 while guaranteeing security, scalability, and reliability. Important features of BCL-3 are presented in the paper, including special support for SMP and heterogeneous network environment, semi- user-level communication, reliable and ordered data transfer and scalable flow control. The performance evaluation of BCL-3 over Myrinet is also given.展开更多
