Abstract

See full text

In a multiprocessor system, a controllable cache store interface to a shared disk memory employs a plurality of storage partitions whose access is interleaved in a time domain multiplexed manner on a common bus with the shared disk to enable high speed sharing of the disk storage by all of the processors. The communication between each processor and its corresponding cache memory partition can be overlapped with each other and with accesses between the cache memory and the commonly shared disk memory. The addressable cache memory feature overcomes the latency delay which inherently occurs in seeking the beginning of a region to be accessed on the disk drive mass storage.
