Abstract: A multiprocessor digital data processing system comprises a plurality of processing cells (18A to 18R, 34A to 34F, 38A, 38B) arranged in a hierarchy of rings (12A to 12F, 14A and 14B, 16). The system selectively allocates storage and moves exclusive data copies from cell to cell in response to access requests generated by the cells. Routing elements are employed to selectively broadcast data access requests, updates and transfers on the rings.

Remote access and geographically distributed computers in a globally addressable storage environment
John B. Carter,Scott H. Davis,Steven J. Frank +2 more
- 02 May 1997
TL;DR: In this paper, a computer system employs a globally addressable storage environment that allows a plurality of networked computers to access data by addressing even when the data is stored on a persistent storage device such as a computer hard disk and other traditionally non-addressable data storage devices.

- 21 Nov 1997
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe distributed shared memory systems and processes that can connect into each node of a computer network to encapsulate the memory management operations of the connected nodes and to provide thereby an abstraction of a shared virtual memory that can span across each node and that optionally spans across each memory device connected to the computer network.

System and method for providing highly available data storage using globally addressable memory
John B. Carter,Scott H. Davis,Daniel J. Dietterich,Steven J. Frank,Robert S. Phillips,John Woods,David Porter,H. Hsin Lee +7 more
- 21 Nov 1997
TL;DR: In this article, a network of computer nodes interface to globally addressable memory system that provides persistent storage of data exchange periodic connectivity information is described. But, it does not specify how to recover the portion of the global address space for which the failed node was responsible.

Method and apparatus for routing message packets
Daniel Hillis,Brewster Kahle,George Robertson,Guy Steele +3 more
- 26 Apr 1988
TL;DR: A message packet router (130) as mentioned in this paper performs the functions of determining if a message packet is addressed to circuitry associated with the router, routing message packets to their destination if possible and storing message packets that cannot be routed on because of circuit conflicts.
