Scalable Coherent Interface - Concluding Remarks

Concluding Remarks

SCI is a standard for connecting the different resources within a multiprocessor computer system (intra - system) and it is not as widely known to the public as for example the Ethernet network standard for connecting different systems (inter - system). Different system vendors have implemented different flavors of SCI for their internal system infrastructure. These different implementations are by nature somewhat different since they interface to very intricate mechanisms in processors and memory systems and each vendor has to preserve some degrees of compatibility for both hardware and software.

Famous quotes containing the words concluding and/or remarks:

    The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences. In our hands it develops and changes, through more or less arbitrary and deliberate revisions and additions of our own, more or less directly occasioned by the continuing stimulation of our sense organs. It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    An illustrious individual remarks that Mrs. [Elizabeth Cady] Stanton is the salt, Anna Dickinson the pepper, and Miss [Susan B.] Anthony the vinegar of the Female Suffrage movement. The very elements get the “white male” into a nice pickle.
