The page aggregation technique consists of considering a larger granularity unit than a page, in a page-based DSM system. In this paper an initial evaluation of the influence of the page aggregation technique in the speedup of a DSM system is done, by applying it in two DSMs: JIAJIA and Nautilus. TreadMarks, a DSM well known by the scientific community, is also included in this comparison as a reference for optimal speedups. Different granularity sizes are considered in this study: 4kB, 8kB, 16kB and 32kB. The benchmarks evaluated in this study are SOR (from Rice University), LU and Water N-Squared (both from SPLASH-II). The first results show that this technique can improve the JIAJIA's speedup by 'up to 4.1% and the Nautilus's speedup by up to 37.7%.
