摘要：
The NEC supercomputer SX-4 multinode system series consists of two models, one being HIPPI (High Performance Parallel Interface)-connected model and the other IXS (Internode Crossbar Switch)-connected model. With the IXS, a proprietary high-speed crossbar switch, the HPC (High Performance Computing) up to 1 TFLOPS (Tera Flops) has been enabled by providing the most comprehensive environment for distributed parallel processing. This also means the world's first implementation of a clustered parallel processing. In this paper, we describe the functions of IXS hardware, the new operating system functions, MPI/SX the MPI (Message Passing Interface) processor and NQS/MPI which supports the close cooperation between NQS (Network Queuing System) batch processing system and MPI.
