Interconnection of distributed memory models

چکیده
In this paper, we present a framework to formally describe and study the interconnection of distributed shared memory systems. Using it allows us to classify the consistency models in two groups, depending on whether they are fast or not. In the case of non-fast consistency models, we show that they cannot be interconnected in any way. In contrast, in the case of fast consistency models we provide protocols to interconnect some of them. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Decoupled Interconnection of Distributed Memory Models
In this paper we present a framework to formally describe and study the interconnection of distributed shared memory systems. In our models we minimize the dependencies between the original systems and the interconnection system (that is, they are decoupled) and consider systems implemented with invalidation and propagation. We first show that only fast (i.e. wait-free) memory models can be int...
متن کاملPerformance Prediction and Evaluation of Parallel Processing on a NUMA Multiprocessor
Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architectures make it possible to build large-scale shared memory multiprocessor systems in comparison with non-scalable UniformMemory Access (UMA) architectures. Most NUMA multiprocessor operations such as scheduling and synchronizing processes, accessing data from processors to memory models and allocating distributed memory space to di erent processors, are p...
متن کاملPerformance Models of An Interconnection Network for Broadcast Communication
1. Abstract Due to advances in fiber-optics and VLSI technology, interconnection networks which allow multiple simultaneous broadcasts are becoming feasible. The performance of a multiprocessor system based on a broadcast interconnection network is examined using analytical models and simulation under the message-passing and distributed-shared-memory paradigms and is compared to similar perform...
متن کاملSwitcherland - A Scalable Interconnection Structure for Distributed Computing
This paper describes a scalable interconnection structure for distributed computing systems. The interconnection structure is scalable in that it can serve as an I/O interconnection structure of a workstation as well as a network interconnection structure for a group or cluster of workstations. Switcherland implements a communication model based on a distributed shared memory architecture. With...
متن کاملThe Switcherland Distributed Computing System
Switcherland is a distributed computing system optimized for running applications that process continuous data such as video and audio. For this purpose, Switcherland implements a communication model that offers quality of service (QoS) for a distributed shared memory architecture. QoS is provided in that memory can be accessed at guaranteed rates and in bounded time. Switcherland is based on a...
