Mission
|
Create a network RAM server which will
function in a similar manner as a network
fileserver does for user files. Develop a
system that provides huge quantities of memory
for user applications over fast, low latency
network ( 1 Gb/sec).

Details
|
The target platform for the prototype NMS
consists of a cluster of 64-bit Alpha
21164-based PC-class machines, each equipped
with at least 1GB of RAM and approximately
10GB of disk backing store, and connected by a
high-speed (1.2Gb/sec) Myrinet interconnect
which will be dedicated to the network paging
function. Each machine will also be equipped
with standard 100Mb/sec Fast Ethernet
interface for general-purpose communication
using IP.
