Title
Implementing a File System Interface to SCI
Abstract
This chapter deals with the issues in implementing a file system interface to the shared memory in an SCI cluster. We describe the possibilities of sharing in file systems and how it can be implemented for SCI in UNIX systems and Windows NT. We present our prototype, SciOS, which implements a memory-based distributed file system. We find that the file system interface integrates SCI well with the operating system and provides sharing mechanisms, a symbolic name space, and possibilities for protection on multi-user SCI clusters.
