Distributed Shared Memory
Author: Jelica Protic
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780818677373
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The papers present in this text survey both distributed shared memory (DSM) efforts and commercial DSM systems. The book discusses relevant issues that make the concept of DSM one of the most attractive approaches for building large-scale, high-performance multiprocessor systems. The authors provide a general introduction to the DSM field as well as a broad survey of the basic DSM concepts, mechanisms, design issues, and systems. The book concentrates on basic DSM algorithms, their enhancements, and their performance evaluation. In addition, it details implementations that employ DSM solutions at the software and the hardware level. This guide is a research and development reference that provides state-of-the art information that will be useful to architects, designers, and programmers of DSM systems.

Book Description
Abstract: "Shared memory is widely believed to provide an easier programming model than message passing for expressing parallel algorithms. Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems provide the illusion of shared memory on top of standard message passing hardware at very low implementation cost, but provide acceptable performance on only a limited class of applications. In this paper we study the main sources of overhead found in software-coherent, distributed shared-memory systems and argue that recent revolutionary changes in network technology now allow us to design protocols that minimize such overheads and that approach the performance of full hardware coherence. Specifically, we claim that memory-mapped network interfaces that support a global physical address space can greatly improve the performance of DSM systems. To support this claim we study a variety of coherence protocols that can take advantage of the global physical address space and compare their performance with the best known protocol for pure message passing hardware. For the programs in our application suite, protocols taking advantage of the new hardware features improve performance by at least 50% and by as much as an order of magnitude."

Pages : 27
Book Description
Distributing compute-intensive applications across multiple platforms can significantly reduce the total execution time of the application. Programming such a system typically involves sending explicit messages between cooperating processes. Keeping track of these messages, however, can be a difficult, error-prone task. Shared memory models are typically easier to program. Network Distributed Global Memory (NDGM) allows the programmer to view the physically distributed environment as a single, contiguous address space. Instead of sending an explicit message to another node, processes write and read from a global block of memory. NDGM-Network Distributed Global Memory, Distributed computing computer programs, Software(Computers), Networks.
