Abstract :
Different architectures of multicomputers have emerged rapidly in the last two decades. In this paper, we present the implementation of a network parallel system using the homogeneous Unix machines on SCSI networks. The system is different from the traditional systems in that we applied general purpose peripheral buses to connect the workstations. In this paper, we discuss the low level operations of the interconnecting network and the isomorphic property of SCSI
