Serial over LAN in. On the blade server the login will be seen as coming through the serial port. SOL is implemented as a payload type under the RMCP+ protocol in IPMI. Serial over LAN Serial Over LAN (SOL) is a mechanism that enables the input and output of the serial port of a managed system to be redirected over IP. On some managed systems, notably blade server systems, the serial ports on the managed computers are not normally connected to a traditional serial port socket. To allow users to access applications on these computers via the serial port, the input/output of the
Parallel algorithm wall, and thus multicore systems have become more widespread, making parallel algorithms of more general use. The cost or complexity of serial algorithms is estimated in terms of the space (memory) and time (processor cycles) that they take. Parallel algorithms need to optimize one more resource, the communication between different processors. There are two ways parallel processors communicate, shared memory or message passing. Shared memory processing needs additional locking for the data, imposes the overhead of additional processor and bus cycles, and also serializes some portion of the algorithm. Message passing processing uses channels and message boxes but this communication
