In this diploma thesis, the implementation of a networking protocol, which is
adopted from a previous work, is refined to a state where it is ready for production
use. The protocol is tailored for the specific needs in a cluster environment which
uses standard ethernet as the interconnection hardware. Thereby focuses is on
developing and implementing a flow control which is very lightweigt in terms of
processing overhead and copes the challenges of such a tightly coupled network
gracefully. Second, the Log(G)P models for parallel computation are examined and
it is shown that they do not give a usable definition of the overhead or latency
parameters for protocols whose overhead is O(message size)–instead, the P-LogP
model is used to characterize the protocol and for comparisons to the TCP/IP
protocol suite. Last, it is demonstrated that the protocol gives usable results with
real-world scientific applications.
