Memory Architecture of Parallel Computer

The book gives an extensive view of different memory architecture used in parallel computer; mainly it covers shared memory. After analyzing different memory architecture for shared memory abstraction, we choose Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) architecture. The performance and the programmability of the DSM system depend upon the Memory Consistency Model and Memory Coherency. The memory consistency model of a DSM system specifies the ordering constraints on concurrent memory accesses by multipl ...
