Abstract
A scalable workstation is one vision of a mainstream parallel computer: a machine that combines scalable, fine-grain communication facilities for parallel applications with virtual memory and preemptive multiprogramming to support general-purpose workloads. A key challenge in a scalable workstation is the Virtual Network Interface (VNI) problem. The problem is that high performance communication for parallel programming depends on a tight coupling between the application and the network while multiprogramming and virtual memory effects disrupt such coupling.
