  • Abstract
    A simple owner protocol for implementing a causal distributed shared memory (DSM) is presented, and it is argued that this implementation is more efficient than comparable coherent DSM implementations. Moreover, it is shown that writing programs for causal memory is no more difficult than writing programs for atomic shared memory
