Distributed shared memory scheme for multiprocessors
Technical Report

OSTI ID:5305391
The report discusses a scheme for implementation of distributed shared memory on a message passing multiprocessor. The scheme is based on replication of shared data. Two major issues in the design of a distributed shared memory system are mapping from logical address space to physical address space in local memories of processors and maintaining memory coherence. In the proposed scheme, the mapping is done by software with necessary hardware support, and consistency among shared replicated data is maintained by hardware using the invalidation approach. The proposed scheme is suitable for implementation on message passing systems of medium size.
