Design of the TruCluster multicomputer system for the Digital UNIX environment
Wayne M. Cardoza, Frederick S. Glover, William E. Snaman · Digital technical journal · 1996
The TruCluster product from Digital provides an available and scalable multicomputer system for the UNIX environment. Although it was designed for general-purpose computing, the first implementation is directed at the needs of large database applications. Services such as distributed locking, failover management, and remote storage access are layered on a high-speed cluster interconnect. The initial implementation uses the MEMORY CHANNEL, an extremely reliable, high-performance interconnect specially designed by Digital for the cluster system.
