Abstract

Distributed shared memory systems combine the scalability of loosely coupled mul-
tiple computer systems with the ease of usability of tightly coupled multiprocessors,
providing with transparent replication and caching of data. This paper introduces
distributed system for parallel computing { DSPC, that provides distributed shared
memory on top of network of workstations. Programming model, memory organiza-
tion, cache-coherence protocol and adaptive techniques are discussed in the paper. An
evaluation with some well-known DSM benchmarks was done to present the overall
performance of the DSPC system.
