Method and device for controlling the communication of individual computers in a multicomputer system

摘要

In a operating system kernel (OSK) each independent computer has a protocol component connected to a standard LAN network for servicing communications protocols and a library preceding the OSK for stacking applications on a communications interface. A network selection unit selects between the LAN and a high-performance system area network (SAN). Network selection occurs after library communications interface and before or directly after entry into the OSK.
