Abstract

This paper describes a design alternative for organizing shared (data) objects in a distributed memory system. Shared objects are organized based on concepts derived from the fields of object-oriented programming and applied to the philosophy of a distributed shared memory system. Inheritance is implemented through an object hierarchy in which each object inherits information from the ancestor objects, located higher in the hierarchy tree. All other object oriented programming concepts are preserved or adapted to the philosophy of the proposed system. To the best of our knowledge, no similar DSM systems have been proposed by now.
