In this paper, we describe an e cient software-only Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) consistency protocol for an unconventional but important application domain - object transactio...
Much research has been done in fast communication on clusters and in protocols for supporting software shared memory across them. However, the end performance of applications that...
We comparethe performance of software-supported shared memory on a general-purpose network to hardware-supported shared memory on a dedicated interconnect. Up to eight processors,...
