Laurent Lefevre: Data Sharing on High Performance Networks CSIT 1999 : N/A
With the emergence of high performance networks (Myrinet, SCI...), the design of distributed applications for clusters are completly modified. Now a distant access to data is not much more expensive than a local one. Distributed Shared Memory systems provide a virtual shared space to applications for transparent access to distributed data. An easy and performant management of shared data on clusters seems now possible by using these new kind of networks. But protocols and implementations must be adapted in a similar way than parallel applications developpement was (adapted consistency protocols, update data, shared multimedia data). Moreover new kind of cooperative applications can take benefit from these high performances. The tutorial will discuss new concepts, systems and implementations of DSM on high performance networks. The tutorial consists of three parts. Part I will introduce DSM systems and all concerning features (consistency, updating, synchronizing...). Part II summarizes a survey on High Performance Networks. Part III focuses on the problem of data sharing on high speed networks and their benefit for distributed and cooperative applications.
