Industry Pick-up (1/2) Layered shortest path routing (LASH)
−SGI uses LASHrecommends to use LASH for Altix systems with more than 128 nodes
−NASA uses LASH on SGI hardware (Columbia cluster)−Sandia National Laboratories has announced to use
LASH on Sun Hardware (Red Sky cluster)
Simula Evaluation 2009 -- Networks and Distributed Systems (ND)University of Oslo
Industry Pick-up (2/2) Routing on Fat-Tree topologies
−The Sun Magnum constellation switch used this routing
−Is currently not using it, but will switch to OpenFabrics implementation from Simula
−The Texas Ranger supercomputer at Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is uses it
Dynamic fault-tolerance in SCI −Dolphin Interconnect Solutions has implemented it in
firmware and hardware
Simula Evaluation 2009 -- Networks and Distributed Systems (ND)University of Oslo
Open Source LASH in OpenFabrics
The LASH routing methodology is part of OpenFabrics

Outlook (1/2)
Strategy−address fundamental problems of practical relevance−publish research results at a high international level−perform research that is internationally recognized
• be counted among their fields’ top research groups
−success indicators• program committees of highly ranked conferences• guest editors for top journals• invited talks• conference keynote speakers• attractiveness of Simula to visitors
Simula Evaluation 2009 -- Networks and Distributed Systems (ND)University of Oslo
Outlook (2/2)
Strategy−focus even more on publishing at top conferences and in
top journals−follow-up natural openings for cooperation across
projects− intensify the use of experimentation
• to increase relevance, visibility, and trustworthiness of results
−bring investigated tools and methods to public awareness
−add to products where possible
−do no rely on existing opportunities but build new ones−make use of EU for additional cooperation and funding
