....system with easily available components, and without relying on modifying, e.g. the BIOS in our hosts. Our system is also symmetric in nature, a host can be both a client and server of resources. Similar to our work is a remotely controlled display device [3] from the Collapsed LAN project [5]. For this work, the authors had access to a passive PCI backplane, but still had troubles making the SCI adapter appear as a PCI to PCI bridge to the BIOS. To con gure the remote display controller they had to place a processor card on the remote PCI backplane. Our work is different because we ....

....protocols, including remote procedure call, message passing and streaming data. Initial results suggest that excellent performance and scalability is delivered to a wide variety of applications. This project derives from earlier work remoting peripherals[8] in order to support the Collapsed LAN[9]. 2 The Interconnect Hardware We have implemented a user level Network Interface Controller (NIC) based on a non coherent shared memory model. The current implementation of the NIC is a 33 MHz, 32 bit PCI card, built from off the shelf components including a V3 PCI bus bridge, an Altera FPGA, and ....

.... Steve Hotz Information Sciences Institute University of Southern California Marina del Rey, CA 90292 frdv,finn,hotzg ISI.Edu Dave Dyer ddyer netcom.com In a recent paper in this publication, Professors Wilkes and Hopper proposed a shift in architecture they referred to as the collapsed LAN [6]. One of its basic concepts is to separate the display, keyboard and mouse (they referred to this as the terminal, we will call it the head) from the CPU and storage chassis by a dedicated fiber optic cable. This allows the chassis to reside in a machine room, where it can be cared for properly ....
