ABSTRACT

The memory coherence problem in designing and implementing a shared virtual memory on loosely coupled multiprocessors is studied in depth. Two classes of algorithms, centralized and distributed, for solving the problem are presented. A prototype shared virtual memory on an Apollo ring based on these algorithms has been implemented. Both theoretical and practical results show that the memory coherence problem can indeed be solved efficiently on a loosely coupled multiprocessor.

REVIEWS

"Edward A. Feustel : Reviewer"

The title of this paper is slightly misleading. A better title would be “Memory Coherence in Shared Virtual Memory Systems for a Small Number of Loosely Coupled Multiprocessors.” The alternate title gives a better description of wh more...

"Roger Raymond Schell : Reviewer"

Li and Hudak define a memory as coherent if a read operation returns the most recently written value. They carefully analyze several techniques for a shared virtual memory on loosely coupled multiprocessors i more...
