چکیده
1 This research was sponsored by NSF Grant 9704015, a grant from the UC Micro Program, and the Hewlett-Packard Corporation External Grants program. Abstract This paper evaluates the Dynamic Boundary Restricted protocol with phase-checking (DBRpc). DBRpc is a highly-adaptable extension of DBR that can respond to changes in the network environment and application workload. DBRpc is suitable for reliable shared memory systems that require rapid and complete response to site failures and phase changes. In this paper, we compare DBRpc with traditional protocols as well as variants of the BR/DBR class of protocols. We find that DBRpc offers unequaled adaptability and availability while having competitive operation costs.

This paper introduces the application of IP multicasting for enhancing of software-only DSM systems and, at the same time, sim-pliication of the programming model by ooering a simple memory consistency model. The described algorithm is the foundation of a runtime system implemented as lesystems for the Windows NT and FreeBSD operating systems. 1 Introduction Software distributed shared memory (...
متن کاملReducing Diff Overhead in Software DSM Systems using RDMA Operations in InfiniBand
Software DSM systems do not perform well because of the combined effects of increase in communication, slow networks and the large overhead associated with processing the coherence protocol. Modern interconnects like Myrinet, Quadrics and InfiniBand offer reliable, low latency (around 5.0 s point-to-point), and high-bandwidth (upto 10.0 Gbps in 4X InfiniBand). These networks also support effici...

متن کاملAnalysis of a Fault - Tolerant Coherence Protocol for DistributedShared Memory Systems
We present a new class of dynamic coherence protocols, called Dynamic Boundary-Restricted (DBR) coherence protocol class, for DSM systems in error-prone networks whose instances ooer highly available access to DSM data at low operation costs. The approach is based on the Boundary-Restricted (BR) coherence protocol class. Our analysis provides the overall cost savings by using a DBR coherence pr...
متن کاملBio-Inspired Clustering of Complex Products Structure based on DSM
Clustering plays an important role in the decomposition of complex products structure. Different clustering algorithms may achieve different effects of the decomposition. This paper aims to proposes a bio-inspired genetic algorithm that is implemented based on its reliable fitness function and design structure matrix (DSM) for clustering analysis of complex products. This new bio-inspired genet...
