Abstract
Networks of workstations are poised to become the primary
computing infrastructure for science and engineering. NOWs may
dramatically improve virtual memory and file system performance; achieve
cheap, highly available, and scalable file storage: and provide multiple
CPUs for parallel computing. Hurdles that remain include efficient
communication hardware and software, global coordination of multiple
workstation operating systems, and enterprise-scale network file
systems. Our 100-node NOW prototype aims to demonstrate practical
solutions to these challenges
