Design and Implementation of Page-based Distributed Shared Memory in Distributed Database Systems


Book Description

This project is the simulation of page-based distributed shared memory originally called IVY. It consists of a collection of clients or workstations connected to a server, which contains a shared memory segment within which the distributed database is located.




The Design and Implementation of Distributed Shared Memory Based on Scope Consistency


Book Description

Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is one of the main approaches to implement distributed computing. The purpose of this project is to design and implement a prototype DSM that runs on popular TCP/IP networked Window PCs without special compliers and/or linkers. Our DSM uses lock based scope consistency (ScC), and supports central model, multiple server model and fully distributed model. We use object-oriented method to encapsulate these models within one framework. We provide C++ APIs and a DSM engine for C++ programmers to use DSM functions. The project is developed using C++ and Winsock APIs under Windows NT platform.







Distributed Shared Memory


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.
