Abstract :
The Alpha 21364 processor provides a high-performance, scalable, and reliable network architecture with a router that runs at 1.2 GHz and has a peak bandwidth of 22.4 Gbytes/s. Supporting configurations of up to 128 processors, this network architecture is well suited for communication-intensive server applications
