VITA 26-1998 (S2022), Myrinet on VME Protocol
Description
This standard describes the high-performance, inter-computer, Myrinet packet network that is fully compatible with existing VMEbus standards and their extensions. This standard addresses communication between VME boards using interconnect either on the front panel or on the backplane. The communication may use cables or an overlay (such as a backplane). The standard defines the interface between a VME board and Myrinet, allowing not only intra-subrack, board-to-board communication, but also a uniform extension for inter-subrack, inter-cabinet, and even local-area-network (LAN) communication. This standard includes, either directly or by reference, the specification of the Data Link level, timing information, character set, signals, and the details of the connectors.
