Abstract: A remote resource management system for managing resources in a symmetrical multiprocessing environment having a plurality of clusters of symmetric multiprocessors each of which provides interfaces between cluster nodes of the symmetric multiprocessor system with a local interface and an interface controller. One or more remote storage controllers each has a local interface controller and a local-to-remote data bus. A remote fetch controller is responsible for processing data accesses in accordance with the methods described.

Abstract: A remote resource management system for managing resources in a symmetrical multiprocessing environment having a plurality of clusters of symmetric multiprocessors each of which provides interfaces between cluster nodes of the symmetric multiprocessor system with a local interface and an interface controller. One or more remote storage controllers each has a local interface controller and a local-to-remote data bus. A remote fetch controller is responsible for processing data accesses across the clusters and a remote store controller is responsible for processing data accesses across the clusters. These controllers work in conjunction to provide a deadlock avoidance system for preventing hangs.

One or more remote storage controllers each has a local interface controller and a local-to-remote data bus. The system is provided with a remote resource manager for managing the interface between a plurality of clusters of symmetric multiprocessors each of which clusters has a plurality of processors, a shared cache memory, a plurality of I/O adapters and a main memory accessible from the cluster. A remote fetch controller is responsible for processing data accesses across the clusters and a remote store controller is responsible for processing data accesses across the clusters.
