Reflective memory may be thought of as hardwaresupported replication of data on multiple computersThis simple mechanism has been extended further, in software, to support memory semantics required by multiprocessors. This paper describes the reflective memory implementation of the Encore I&&y a distributed shared memory multiprocessor. A brief overview of the system is provided and comparisons ...
