very high bandwidth, low latency manner?

[Iwao Makino]

I think ... Quadrics<http://www.quadrics.com/> is another one.

Here's quick figures I have on hand....

RH7.2, 2.4.9 kernel for i860 cluster.
On their site, they claim;
after protocol, of 340Mbytes/second in each direction. The 
process-to-process latency for remote write operations is2us, and 5us for 
MPI messages.

But pricing is MUCH higher than SCI/Myrinet.
