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)
“So, too, if, to our surprise, we should meet one of these morons whose remarks are so conspicuous a part of the folklore of the world of the radio—remarks made without using either the tongue or the brain, spouted much like the spoutings of small whales—we should recognize him as below the level of nature but not as below the level of the imagination.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
