Abstract

The Network Of Workstations (NOWs), or Cluster, attract much attention these years as a more cost-effective option to implement parallel computing comparing with supper computers. NOWs is often a collection of homogeneous nodes interconnected by a high performance communication technology, the cost of such communication technology is a key factor which influences the overall cost-effectiveness of the NOW. The IEEE 1394 bus can be a cost-effective solution for linking a network of computers, in this paper, we tested the performance of IEEE 1394 on the Linux system, and discussed the implementation of a new communication library for using the IEEE 1394 network as NOWs interconnection.
