Sequoia Systems is nearing completion of its high-performance
fault-tolerant multiprocessor system. The system features a modular
tightly-coupled architecture, with incremental expansion to more than
sixty processors, ninety i/o processors, and 256 Mb of memory. I/O
controllers use Multibus interfaces; the rest of the system is a
proprietary design based on M68000 series processors.
The operating system is UNIX compatible. Utilities are UNIX ones, but
we've written a kernel to match our architecture. We are targeting our
system towards transaction processing, and have both a state-of-the-art
relational database system and a traditional transaction-processing
system. We are developing commercial networking systems to tie Sequoia
computers into existing mainframe applications.
The software engineering group is seeking qualified people to work in
the OS, Database, Communications, and Compiler groups. At least one
year of systems programming is required, with UNIX and C experience
desirable. There are also a number of positions available with the
hardware engineering group, involving specification, design, and
integration of fault-tolerant systems.
