SCI supports both the message-passing and shared-memory communication models, the latter in either the cache-coherent or non-coherent variants. SCI can be deployed as a system area network for compute clusters, as a memory interconnect for large-scale, cache-coherent, distributed-shared-memory multiprocessors, or as an I/O subsystem interconnect.}, language = {EN} }
