Abstract
This invention is a high performance, standard IO interconnect 'bridge' hardware for a parallel machine with a packet switching network in place. Combining new hardware and new software, this bridge connects parallel processors to the external world. The hardware is a 'bridge' connecting an internal inter-processor switch to external asynchronous transfer node networks. The software is a 'mirror' for making the connections. The invention provides high bandwidth, low latency and deterministic performance, and is inexpensive to build.
