Description: Simple, yet efficient distributed shared memory (DSM) system; a user-level library plus header files supports DSM on groups of Unix workstations. Runs on 4.3BSD/M68k, HP-UX/PA-RISC, IRIX 5.2/MIPS, SunOS 4.1/SPARC. [Open Source, public domain]
Quarks -- A Simple, Yet Efficient DSM System We have developed a freely-available distributed shared memory system named Quarks. It consists of a user-level library and associated header files that support DSM on collections of Unix workstations. The released version runs on SunOS 4.1/SPARC, HP-UX/PA-RISC, IRIX 5.2/MIPS machines, and 4.3BSD/M68k machines. Quarks includes a number of modern DSM features such as support for multiple consistency protocols (e.g., a write invalidate protocol providing strict consistency, a delayed write update protocol providing release consistency, etc.) and multithreading to mask communication latency. An effort has been made to make adding new protocols easy, allowing the research community to experiment with new protocols, and allowing compiler writers to develop specialized protocols (as in Blizzard).
