Abstract: In the last decade network research and development led to more and more powerful computer networks. Starting with local area networks with 10 Mbit/s bandwidth like Ethernet, followed by FDDI with 100 Mbit/s and not finally HiPPI with 800 resp. 1600 Mbit/sec, the transmission speeds of local networks grew in fantastic steps. Though HiPPI, the High Performance Parallel Interface, is not the last step in this evolution, this interface seems to be the fastest interface, that can be managed by the computation power of currently available mainframe cpu's, taking into account, that this mainframe is not used for communication purposes only.In 1990 a new concept for a cooperative computing in the KFA was introduced, the so named workstation concept. This concept includes the communication of low bandwidth attached PC's with high bandwidth attached supercomputers as well as the high speed communication of CRAY supercomputers and IBM mainframes. Taking into account these requirements the KFA decided to install an IBM HiPPI interface for the IBM ES9000/620 and to analyse the opportunities available with this interface.This report analyses the opportunities available within the KFA network environment.
