Abstract
Topology changes, such as switches being turned on/off, hot expansion, hot replacement or link re-mapping, are very likely to occur in NOWs and clusters. Moreover, topology changes are much more frequent than faults. However, their impact on real-time communications has not been considered a major problem up to now, mostly because they are not feasible in traditional environments, such as massive parallel processors (MPPs), which have fixed topologies. They are supported and handled by some current and future interconnects, such as Myrinet or Infiniband. Unfortunately, they do not include support for real-time communications in the presence of topology changes.
