A case for NOW (networks of workstations)
Formato de archivo: PDF. -- Disponible también en línea vía suscripción BECyT (Cons. 25-04-2008)
Networks of workstations are poised to become the primary computing infrastructure for science and engineering. NOWs may dramatically improve virtual memory and file system performance; achieve cheap, highly available, and scalable file storage; and provide multiple CPUs for parallel computing. Hurdles that remain include efficient communication hardware and software, global coordination of multiple workstation operating systems, and enterprisescale network file systems. Our 100-node NOW prototype aims to demonstrate practical solutions to these challenges.
