Title
The Boundary-Restricted Coherence Protocol For Scalable And Highly Available Distributed Shared Memory Systems
Abstract
Larger size networks require Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) coherence protocols which scale well, Fault-tolerance in terms of high availability is required for data access and for uninterrupted DSM service since large-scale environments have a greater number of potentially malfunctioning components, We present a new class of coherence protocols for DSM systems whose instances offer highly available access to shared data at low operation costs. The protocols proposed scale well; an increase in the number of client sites does not increase the operation costs after a certain threshold has been reached, The results presented in this paper give strong guidelines for the overall design of DSM systems which offer highly available, uninterrupted services.
