TL;DR

The iWarp communication system supports two widely used interprocessor communication styles: memory communication and systolic communication and is integrated on a single VLSI component with a 20 MFLOPS plus 20 MIPS long instruction work computation engine.

Abstract

iWarp is a parallel architecture developed jointly by Carnegie Mellon University and Intel Corporation. The iWarp communication system supports two widely used interprocessor communication styles: memory communication and systolic communication. This paper describes the rationale, architecture, and implementation for the iWarp communication system.
