539 Distributed Shared Memory
Think about the communication model in the distributed system. We have either message passing(fundamental) or shared memory(convenient, but more abstract). The goal is to mimic single-process memory interfece so that higher-level algorithms can use this shared memory as a black-box. A read returns the value of the most recent write. However, in distributed system, operations may overlap. In this note, we build shared memory in the message passing communication model. ...
