Abstract

Shared Virtual Memory (SVM) systems are organizations of Distributed Shared Memory systems (DSM). These systems offer a shared memory programming model that is more intuitive than the message passing paradigm. Other advantages include low hardware and maintenance costs. This paper introduces a new simulation environment for such architectures. The developed tool is an execution-driven simulator aimed at studying the behavior of memory consistency models, with the exception of those needing compiler modifications. Thus, we propose a cheap and flexible way to design efficient consistency approaches for SVM systems.

Consistency Requirements of Distributed Shared Memory for Dijkstra's Mutual Exclusion Algorithm
ICDCS '00: Proceedings of the The 20th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems ( ICDCS 2000)

As is well known any algorithm correct in asynchronous shared memory setting (physically shared memory) can be directly applied in distributed shared memory (DSM) systems if the latter guarantees strong consistency (atomic or sequential) of replicas. ...
A Comparison of Entry Consistency and Lazy Release Consistency Implementations
HPCA '96: Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE Symposium on High-Performance Computer Architecture

This paper compares several implementations of entry consistency (EC) and lazy release consistency (LRC), two relaxed memory models in use with software distributed shared memory (DSM) systems. We use six applications in our study: SOR, Quicksort, Water,...
A proposal for a DSM architecture suitable for a widely distributed environment and its evaluation
HPDC '95: Proceedings of the 4th IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing

To realize functionally distributed computing in a wide area distributed environment, distributed shared memory (DSM) is an attractive option due to the simplicity and flexibility in software programming. DSM has mainly been studied in a local ...
