Remote Method Invocation (RMI), Java’s remote procedure call implementation, provides a mechanism for designing distributed Java technology-based applications. It allows methods to be invoked from other Java virtual machines, possibly at different hosts. RMI uses lockbased concurrency control, which suffers from distributed deadlocks, livelocks, and scalability and composability challenges. We ...

In this papery we discuss the design principles of massively parallel distributed-memory multiprocessor architecture and propose the Datarol-H architecture. We present the architecture of the massively parallel Datarol-H machine and show a Datarol-H processor design, including communication protocol and handling mechanisms of remote memory access and remote process/procedure invocation. Last, w...

We present a new model for distributed shared memory systems, based on remote data accesses. Such features are offered by network interface cards that allow one-sided operations, remote direct memory access and OS bypass. This model leads to new interpretations of distributed algorithms allowing us to propose an innovative detection technique of race conditions only based on logical clocks. Ind...
