9512356 Vitter Duke University proposes the establishment of an ATM-based network cluster of high-performance 64-bit workstations for supporting collaborative research and applications. Three fundamental systems performance concerns are considered for supporting a wide mix of workloads and applications of these collaborative activities: locality management, resource conflicts, and resource reduction. Seven specific projects have been identified: (1) toolkits and interfaces for explicit control of disk resources, (2) parallel file system, (3) virtual memory support for memory-intensive computations, (4) distributed shared memory, (5) cluster virtual storage, (6) data compression, and (7) predication for locality management. The workstation cluster instrumentation is necessary to perform state-of-the-art experimental research on methods to make the cluster viable for next-generation collaborative computing. The proposed cluster testbed is indispensable for conducting the research. The instrumentation is both the vehicle for and the subject of research. ***

9512356 维特杜克大学提议建立一个基于ATM的高性能64位工作站网络集群，以支持协作研究和应用。为了支持这些协作活动的各种工作负载和应用程序，需要考虑三个基本的系统性能问题：位置管理、资源冲突和资源减少。已经确定了七个具体项目：(1) 用于显式控制磁盘资源的工具包和接口，(2) 并行文件系统，(3) 对内存密集型计算的虚拟内存支持，(4) 分布式共享内存，(5) 集群虚拟存储，(6) 数据压缩，以及 (7) 位置管理预测。工作站集群仪器对于对方法进行最先进的实验研究是必要的，以使集群适用于下一代协作计算。所提出的集群测试平台对于进行研究是必不可少的。仪器既是研究的工具，也是研究的主题。 ***
