ISBN: 0818677376 ISBN-13: 9780818677373 Publisher: Wiley-IEEE Computer Society PR OUR PRICE: $142.45 Product Type: Paperback Published: August 1997 Annotation: Presents a survey of both distributed shared memory (DSM) efforts and commercial DSM systems. Distributed Shared Memory discusses relevant issues that make DSM concepts one of the most attractive approaches for building large-scale, high-performance multiprocessor systems. The book provides a general introduction to the DSM field as well as a broad survey of the basic DSM concepts, mechanisms, design issues, and systems. "Distributed Shared Memory: Concepts and Systems" concentrates on basic DSM algorithms, their enhancements, and their performance evaluation. In addition, it details implementations that employ DSM solutions at the software and hardware level. The authors deliver a research and development reference that provides state-of-the-art information that will be useful to architects, designers, and programmers of DSM systems. |
