Abstract

This work outlines the development and performance validation of an architecture for distributed shared memory in a loosely coupled distributed computing environment. This distributed shared memory may be used for communication and data exchange between communicants on different computing sites; the mechanism will operate transparently and in a distributed manner. This paper describes the architecture of this mechanism and metrics which will be used to measure its performance. We also discuss a number of issues related to the overall design and what research contribution such an implementation can provide to the computer science field.
