Abstract :
This paper introduces the dynamic aggregation of pages in Nautilus, which main features are: lock-based scope consistency, multithreaded and page-based DSM system. The dynamic aggregation consists in considering a larger granularity´s unit than a page, in a page-based DSM system. The first results show that this technique can improve the Nautilus´s speedup up to 29%. The benchmarks evaluated in this study are SOR (from Rice University), LU and Water N-Squared (both from SPLASH-2)
