 Scalable Coherent Interconnect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SCI, for Scalable Coherent Interconnect, is a high-speed computer bus that supports a variety of topologies, speeds and connection systems.
The most notable use to date has been by Sun Microsystems, who standardized on SCI for all of their high-performance deployments, mainly using cards manufactured by Dolphin Interconnect Solutions Inc.
Meanwhile the Futurebus standard dragged on, but eventually reformed in the InfiniBand system, which is similar to SCI in many ways.

In between loosely-coupled clusters and tightly coupled CC-NUMA symmetric multiprocessors (SMP), Dolphin is exploring what we call the Shared Memory Cluster (SMC), which, at the operating system level looks like a typical cluster, but presents a single system image to applications.
Dolphin's SMC uses an SCI-based interconnect to provide coherent shared memory across the cluster in a way that supports a separate OS on each node, but allows applications to use shared memory.
This poster presents the software architecture and some of the hardware support features that Dolphin is building as part of our SMC system.

Unfortunately there are a number of problems with this approach 1) To make the interconnect a commodity you also need a standard high bandwidth cache coherent socket on the computer into which you can plug the SCI network interface.
The commodity SCI cards are now, therefore, mostly used as a straightforward high-bandwidth, low-latency message passing interconnect for building Beowulfen, and programmed in the way we're all familiar with via MPI or other message passing libraries.
