Abstract

In Distributed Shared Memory design the memory consistency model used can have a major impact on the efficiency of the system. In this paper we describe previous work on consistency models with particular reference to weak consistency models. Weak consistency models use synchronization points as checkpoints at which the memory is made consistent. When designing a consistency model for RHODOS, we propose to go one step further and use the synchronization operations to demarcate the sections of code in which shared data is accessed. Only this shared data will be kept consistent. 1.
