About the SGI 2400 and 2800
13
The SGI 2400 and 2800 memory is located in a single shared address space. Memory
within this space is distributed amongst all the processors, and is accessible over the
CrayLink Interconnect. I/O devices are also distributed within a shared address space;
every I/O device is universally accessible throughout the system.
IRIX
The new 64-bit IRIX operating system is based on UNIX System V, Release 4, distributed
software technology. IRIX supports modular computing, providing availability and
throughput on small, one-to-four processor systems. It also supports scalability,
performance, resilience, and throughput on large systems with tens or hundreds of
processors and hundreds of gigabytes of memory.
