Myricom's Myrinet, a is a 640-Mbps packet-switched LAN. TCP process to process throughputs are generally approximately 90 Mbps and can exceed 100 Mbps with careful tuning.

RAM disk

A SAM-300 solid state disk from Texas Memory Systems. Although the SAM-300 is capable of 1200 MB/sec our SBus configuration can only use roughly 85 Mbits/sec of it, due to Sbus and Unix file system overheads.
