Abstract

We present Ulisse, a distributed single address space system being developed at the University of Pisa. Ulisse has a symmetric, peer-to-peer architecture, is resilient to certain types of node and network failures, and supports a form of application-controlled approach to memory management. A set of mechanisms make it possible to explicitly control page caching and the page movements across the storage hierarchy, thereby allowing application programs to implement specific memory management strategies, including page replacement, consistency and recovery.
