Evaluation of release consistent software distributed shared memory on emerging network technology

We evaluate the effect of processor speed, network characteristics, and software overhead on the performance of release-consistent software distributed shared memory. We examine five different protocols for implementing release consistency: eager update, eager invalidate, lazy update, lazy invalidate, and a new protocol called lazy hybrid. This lazy hybrid protocol combines the benefits of both lazy update and lazy invalidate.
