Abstract
An overview of distributed shared memory (DSM) issues is
presented. Memory coherence, design choices, and implementation methods
are included. The discussion of design choices covers structure and
granularity, coherence semantics, scalability, and heterogeneity.
Implementation issues concern data location and access, the coherence
protocol, replacement strategy, and thrashing. Algorithms that support
process synchronization and memory management are discussed
