Heterogeneous distributed shared memory
Shi Zhou, Michael Stumm, Kangshuo Li, David B. Wortman · IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems · 1992
The design, implementation, and performance of heterogeneous distributed shared memory (HDSM) are studied. A prototype HDSM system that integrates very different types of hosts has been developed, and a number of applications of this system are reported. Experience shows that despite a number of difficulties in data conversion, HDSM is implementable with minimal loss in functional and performance transparency when compared to homogeneous DSM systems.>
