SSA

SSA

Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) is a transport protocol developed by IBM that allows for redundant data paths to be established between up to 192 disk drives in direct attached storage configurations. It utilizes the SCSI command set and was adopted as an ANSI X3T10.1 standard. SSA was promoted by the SSA Industry Association as an open standard, but it lost favor to the more widely adopted Fibre Channel protocol. The benefits of using SSA include shorter computing time and lower hardware and software requirements.From: National Association of Broadcasters Engineering Handbook [2019], A comparative study on computational fluid dynamic, fluid-structure interaction and static structural analyses of cerebral aneurysm [2022]

Serial Storage Architecture or SSA is a standard originally proposed by IBM. They were looking for a high-speed serial interconnection to disk storage systems to replace the SPI. It is a full-duplex serial link, using differential-pair copper or optical fiber much like Fibre Channel (Table 14.3).

In the previous section, it is noted that the WSS due to the fluid motion is in the order of 10 Pa, see Table 4, which is small compared with the blood pressure which is in the order of 10 kPa (∼ 75 mmHg). Moreover, the instantaneous pressure inside the aneurysm sag is very close to uniform, see Figure 9. It is also noted that the maximum wall displacement and wall stress always occur at or very close to peak systolic pressure at which the wall motion is close to stationary. These observations lead to the hypothesis that the maximum wall displacement and wall stress can be predicted by SSA of the solid domain with the systolic pressure applied over the inner surfaces of the vessel and aneurysm walls. The benefits of using SSA are significant including shorter computing time as well as lower hardware and software requirements.
