  • EXTERNAL SETTINGS THAT RECONFIGURE THE ERROR HANDLING BEHAVIOR OF A DISTRIBUTED PCIE SWITCH
    Publication number: 20130339825
    Abstract: Method for performing an operation to maintain data integrity in a parallel computing system, the operation comprising providing a lookup table specifying a plurality of predefined destinations for data packets, receiving a first data packet comprising a destination address specifying a first destination, wherein the first data packet has an error of a first type, identifying, from the lookup table, an entry specifying a second destination for data packets having errors of the first type, and sending the first data packet to the second destination to avoid corrupting the first destination.
