Global virtual address space consistency model
Abstract
An approach is disclosed that maintains a consistent view of a virtual address by a local node which writes a first value to the virtual address and, after writing the first value, establishes a snapshot consistency state of the virtual address. The virtual address is shared amongst any number of processes and the processes includes a writing process and other processes that read from the virtual address. After writing the first value, the writing process writes a second value to the virtual address. Even after writing the second value, the first value is still visible to the other processes.
