This paper presents the design and rationale of a distributed file system for a network of more than 5000 personal computer workstations. While scale has been the dominant design influence, careful attention has also been paid to the goals of location transparency, user mobility and compatibility with existing operating system interfaces. Security is an important design consideration, and the mechanisms for it do not assume that the workstations or the network are secure. Caching of entire files at workstations is a key element in this design. A prototype of this system has been built and is in use by a user community of about 400 individuals. A refined implementation that will scale more gracefully and provide better performance is close to completion.

Techniques for Algorithm Animation

A method for processing programs and data associated with said programs on a computer processor is provided. Said computer processor comprises a main memory, a memory controller, a plurality of first processing units, each said first processing unit including a local memory exclusively associated with said first processing unit, and a second processing unit. Said method comprises: storing in said main memory said programs and said data associated with said programs; directing with said second processing unit any one of said first processing units to process one of said programs; directing with said second processing unit said memory controller to transfer said one program and data associated with said one program from said main memory to the local memory exclusively associated with said one first processing unit; instructing with said second processing unit said one first processing unit to initiate processing of said one program from said one first processing unit's local memory; and in response to said instructing, processing with said one first processing unit said one program and said data associated with said one program from said local memory exclusively associated with said one first processing unit.
