“…Eager release consistency (ERC, originally known simply as "release consistency"), first proposed by Gharachorloo, et al [11], is a scheme that guarantees the consistency of data only at specific points during a program's operation. The programmer is responsible for writing a "properly labeled program" that correctly designates when shared data will reflect the most recent available changes and to enter and exit sections at appropriate times to ensure consistency.…”

“…On the other hand, weak memory models (e.g., release consistency [12]) grant improved performance, but allow the memory to return unexpected values. It is the duty of the programmer, using explicit synchronization techniques, to provide algorithmic semantics equivalent to the sequential model.…”

Abstract. This paper describes the design, implementation and initial evaluation of an object-based Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) middleware system for Java. The resulting implementation allows the construction of event-based distributed systems using a simple programming model, allowing applications to be deployed without hardware or communication channel assumptions. Our implementation utilises standard, freely available, Message Oriented Middleware (MOM). This approach eases DSM development as many reliability and scalability issues associated to DSM may be handled by MOM. In addition to an implementation description, we provide performance results of a prototype system on a Local Area Network.

“…Therefore, any synchronized memory model that provides exclusive access cannot be interconnected. As a result, we have that memory models such as the eager release [15], the lazy release [19], the entry [11] or the scope [17] can not be interconnected.…”

Abstract. In this paper we present a framework to formally describe and study the interconnection of distributed shared memory systems. In our models we minimize the dependencies between the original systems and the interconnection system (that is, they are decoupled) and consider systems implemented with invalidation and propagation. We first show that only fast (i.e. wait-free) memory models can be interconnected. We then show that causal and pRAM systems can be interconnected if they fulfill some restrictions, and for these cases, we present protocols to interconnect them. Finally, we present a protocol to interconnect cache systems.
