ANSI standard that extends the computer bus over fairly short distances at speeds of 800 and 1600 Mbps.

an ANSI standard for high speed transfer of information in a dual simplex manner over a short parallel bus

High Performance Parallel Interface. HIPPI is a simple point-to-point unidirectional connection for data transmission at speeds up to 800 Mbits/second on a single cable. HIPPI is normally (but not necessarily) deployed in pairs in order to achieve a full duplex connection (one that can allow simultaneous transmission in both directions). HIPPI cables are limited to 25 meters by physical limitations, but repeaters can be used to connect cables together as well as extenders that work to extend HIPPI over fiber up to 20 kilometers. A HIPPI interface is commonly used to connect together a group of computers in close proximity, allowing very rapid transfers of data.

High Performance Parallel Interface. RS/6000 units can attach to a HiPPI network as defined by the ANSI specifications. The HiPPI channel supports burst rates of 100 Mbps over dual simplex cables; connections can be up to 25 km in length as defined by the standard and can be extended using third-party HiPPI switches and fiber optic extenders.

HIgh Performance Parallel Interface An ANSI-standard high-speed communications channel that uses a 32-bit or 64-bit cable and transmits at 100 or 200 Mbytes/sec

The High Performance Parallel Interface is a network link, often used to connect computers. It is slower than shared memory transfers but faster than TCP/IP transfers.

HIPPI (High Performance Parallel Interface) is a standard point to point protocol for transmitting large amounts of data at up to billions of bits per second over relatively short distances, mainly on local area networks (LANs).

A standard that extends a computer bus over short distances at speeds of 800 to 1600Mbps. HIPPI is often associated with supercomputers.

An American National Standards Institute standard for high-speed channels used in processing-intensive systems, such as supercomputers.

HIgh-performance Parallel Processor Interface. An ANSI standard for attaching devices to parallel processing systems. IBM has several HIPPI implementations. September 1990 it announced a system for connecting two high-end ES/9000 processors together to create a single-system image (i.e., a single resource). HIPPI is also used in the SCSE package to support a high-speed disk array. PR/SM support for HIPPI attachment was announced September 1991. RS/6000 ( pSeries) support announced July 1993. A HIPPI Protocol Support Service Program was announced for AIX October 1999. See also 9570.

A high speed interface usually used to connect point-to- point. Transfer speeds are usually quoted at 100 MBps (million bytes per second).

High Performance Parallel Interface. An ANSI standard which extends the computer bus over fairly short distances at speeds of 800 and 1600 Mb/s. HIPPI is often used in a computer room to connect a supercomputer to routers, frame buffers, mass-storage peripherals, and other computers.

High Performance Parallel Interface, a network technology standard that specifies a transmission speed of 100 megabytes per second and allows devices to be attached directly to the network without an intervening computer.

A gigabit-per-second OSI Layer 1 and 2 interface standardized by ANSI. HIPP5 supports 800Mbps up to 82 feet (25 meters) using a 32-bit parallel copper connector, and can be extended up to several miles/kilometers by using fiber-optic technology. A higher speed option uses 64 parallel lines to support operation at up to 1.6Gbps.

(n.) High performance parallel interface; a point to point 100 MByte/sec interface standard used for networking components of high performance multicomputers together.

Abbreviation for high performance parallel interface as defined by the ANSI X3T9.3 document, a standard technology for physically connecting devices at short distances and high speeds. Primarily to connect supercomputers and to provide high-speed backbones for local area networks (LANs).

High-Performance Parallel Interface] The HIPPI specification defines the mechanical, electrical and signalling protocol for a high performance simplex interface [data transmits in one direction only]. An additional HPPI interface is required to transmit data in a full-duplex mode. The HIPPI interface is obsolete. HIPPI Description

HIPPI (HIgh Performance Parallel Interface) is a computer bus for the attachment of high speed storage devices to supercomputers. It was popular in the late 1980s and into the mid-to-late 1990s, but has since been replaced by ever-faster standard interfaces like SCSI and Fibre Channel.
