High Performance Parallel
Interface
-
HIPPI is an acronym for High
Performance Parallel Interface. It is a standard supported by many workstation
and supercomputing vendors: Cray, IBM, HP, SGI, TMC, Convex, Intel, and
others.
-
HIPPI is a simple point-to-point
unidirectional connection capable of speeds up to 800 Mbits/second on a
single cable. HIPPI is normally (but not necessarily) deployed in pairs
in order to achieve a full duplex connection.
-
Multiple hosts may be interconnected
to form a HIPPI network by the use of a HIPPI switch. Switches range in
size from four to thirty-two duplex ports are non-blocking and are available
from a number of vendors.
-
HIPPI supports IP as well as
IPI-3 and it's own raw protocols (HIPPI-PH, and HIPPI-FP).
-
HIPPI cables are limited to
25 meters by physical limitations outlined in the specification, but there
exist repeaters to connect cables together as well as extenders that work
to extend HIPPI over fiber up to 20 kilometers.
