Abstract
This paper describes the design of network virtual storage (NVS) in the Axon host communication architecture for distributed applications. The Axon project is investigating an integrated design of host architecture, operating systems, and communication protocols to allow applications to utilise the high bandwidth provided by the next generation of communication networks. NVS extends segmented paged virtual storage management and address translation mechanisms to include segments located across an internetwork. This provides the ability to efficiently use the shared memory paradigm in non-local environments, as well as the support for a very high speed end-to-end data path between demanding applications such as scientific visualisation and imaging.

Axon: a flexible substrate for source-routed ethernet
ANCS '10: Proceedings of the 6th ACM/IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications SystemsThis paper introduces the Axon, an Ethernet-compatible device for creating large-scale datacenter networks. Axons are inexpensive, practical devices that are demonstrated using prototype hardware. Functionally, Axons replace Ethernet switches and ...
Action potential initiation in a multi-compartmental model with cooperatively gating Na channels in the axon initial segment
Somatic action potentials (AP) of cortical pyramidal neurons have characteristically high onset-rapidness. The onset of the AP waveform is an indirect measure for the ability of a neuron to respond to temporally fast-changing stimuli. Theoretical ...
