  abstract = {The evolution of system architectures and system configurations
  has created the need for a new supercomputer system interconnect. Attributes
  required of the new interconnect include commonality among system and
  subsystem types, scalability, low latency, high bandwidth, a high level of
  resiliency, and flexibility. Cray Research Inc. is developing a new system
  channel to meet these interconnect requirements in future systems. The
  channel has a ring-based architecture, but can also function as a
  point-to-point link. It integrates control and data on a single, physical
  path while providing low latency and variance for control messages. Extensive
  features for client isolation, diagnostic capabilities, and fault tolerance
  have been incorporated into the design. The attributes and features of this
  channel are discussed along with implementation and protocol specifics.},
