DSM

DSM

Indigo, the system we have used for implementing DSM, currently is layered on top of PVM. To support efficient memory objects in COBS, we are moving Indigo on top of the OTL in COBS. This implementation of Indigo will exploit object technology. In addition, we are building an adaptive scheme for handling false sharing. Based on access patterns of shared memory objects, this scheme shifts the handling of false sharing related functions to user or server nodes to reduce communication and processing overheads. We expect both Indigo and the DSM system to be operational in COBS in the next three months.
