[rescue] Myrinet SBUS adapter

[Paul]

Very high bandwidth, VERY low latency interconnect, mostly used im
clustering.
Note the microsecond latencies.
The following table summarizes performance measurements for M3F-PCI64B and
M3F-PCI64C Myrinet interfaces in 2-GHz Pentium-IV Xeon Supermicro P4DL6
hosts, which have 64-bit, 66MHz, PCI slots, and good performance between the
PCI bus and system memory:

      Performance Metric PCI64B
      133MHz
      RISC & Memory PCI64C
      200MHz
      RISC & Memory
      Sustained one-way data rate for large messages 240 MByte/s 246 MByte/s
      Sustained two-way data rate for large messages 340 MByte/s 421 MByte/s
      Latency for short messages 8.5 5s 6.7 5s
      Host-CPU utilization per message (send + receive) 0.54 5s  0.54 5s
