Data server for transferring selected blocks of remote file to a distributed computer network involving only single data transfer operation

摘要: A pipelined data server having an improved transfer architecture is used with a distributed computer network and plurality of secondary storage devices to efficiently between the devices. The pipelined, multiprocessor includes common inter-processor bus that connects one or more communication processors file device processors, each buffer memory as part processor. provides for global direct access memories in by any other processors. are also connected attached processor DMA path In this way, transfers can occur only across bus. present invention organized manner so allow multiplexed among microprocessor, interface, I/O controller which comprise
