Abstract
Diverging demands on computer networks, such as high bandwidth, guaranteed quality of service and low latency lead to growing heterogeneity. IEEE1394–1995 is a standardized low-cost high-performance serial-bus-system with both isochronous and asynchronous operation. It might be an interesting candidate for all-round local and system area networks, providing a good compromise in fulfilling the above demands for low costs. Beside providing some technical background we show the possibilities and advantages of building parallel clusters on top of IEEE1394–1995. The main advantage is that minimal speed-up can be guaranteed, as shown on the basis of the parallel implementation of discrete Fourier transformation.
