“…A comparison of CENTRAL and an equivalent distributed algorithm [The89] indicated that the simplicity of implementation of the latter can be an advantage. Other work has highlighted further potential weaknesses of centralised algorithms, notably bottlenecks forming at the central node and the vulnerability of the systems load sharing capabilities if this node fails [Ald92,Ber93]. These factors have lead to the conclusion that centralised solutions are better suited to multi-processor configurations, rather than distributed systems.…”

“…There have been several previous projects examining the use of remote idle memory as backing store for nodes in networks of workstations [4], [3], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. Some incorporate Network RAM into an OS's paging system, some into an OS's swapping system, and others into an OS's file system as a cooperative cache for file data.…”

“…There are several projects that examine using remote idle memory as backing store in clusters or networks of workstations [20], [16], [6], [2], [13], [14], [12], [8], [10]. Reliability issues are addressed in three of these projects.…”
