Performance evaluation of the Orca shared-object system
1998
ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
Orca is a portable, object-based distributed shared memory system. This paper studies and evaluates the design choices made in the Orca system and compares Orca with other DSMs. The paper gives a quantitative analysis of Orca's coherence protocol (based on write-updates with function shipping), the totally-ordered group communication protocol, the strategy for object placement, and the all-software, user-space architecture. Performance measurements for ten parallel applications illustrate the
