We describe the design and use of the tape mechanism, a new high-level abstraction of accesses to shared data for software DSMs. Tapes consolidate and generalize a number of recent protocol optimizations, including update-based locks and recorded-replay barriers. Tapes are usually created by “recording” shared accesses. The resulting recordings can be used to anticipate future accesses by tailoring data movement to application semantics. Tapes-based mechanisms are layered on top of existing shared-memory protocols, and are largely independent of the underlying memory model. Tapes can also be used to emulate the data-movement semantics of several update-based protocol implementations, without altering the underlying protocol implementation. We have used tapes to create the Tapeworm synchronization library. Tapeworm implements sophisticated record-replay mechanisms across barriers, augments locks with data-movement semantics, and allows the use of producer-consumer segments, which move entire modified segments when any portion of the segment is accessed. We show that Tapeworm eliminates 85% of remote misses, reduces message traffic by 63%, and improves performance by an average of 29% for our application suite.
