Abstract

Midway is a software-based distributed shared memory system. Distributed shared memory provides the programmer with the illusion of a single virtual address space, which is shared among a network of processors that do not share physical memory. As local memory is updated, the modifications are propagated to the other processors, so that all maintain a consistent view
