Object coherence in distributed shared memory systems

Abstract:

Examples may include techniques to enable cache coherency of objects in a distributed shared memory (DSM) system, even where multiple nodes in the system manage the objects. Node memory space includes a tracking address space (TAS) where lines in the TAS correspond to objects in the (DSM). Access to the objects and the TAS is managed by a host fabric interface (HFI) caching agent in HFI of a node.
