Distributed shared memory on loosely coupled systems
Vicent Cholvi, Roy H. Campbell · 1996
feasible alternative to the traditional communication model (CM), especiallv in loosely coupled distributed sijstems. While the CM is usually considered a low-level model, the DSMM provides a shared address space that can be used in the same way as local memory. This paper provides a taxonomy of distributed shared memory systems, focusing on different implementations and the factors which affect the behavior of those implemen-tations.
