Abstract
This paper describes the interconnection network used in the Cray T3E multiprocessor. The network is a bidirectional 3D torus with fully adaptive routing, optimized virtual channel assignments, integrated barrier synchronization support and considerable fault tolerance. The routers are built with LSI’s 500K ASIC technology with custom transmitters/ receivers driving low-voltage differential signals at 375 MHz, for a link data payload capacity of approximately 500 MB/s.
