Abstract :
Cluster and emerging grid environments offer a lot of distributed resources like CPU, memory, and disk space. Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is a well-known approach providing easiness of programming by offering an implicit communication through a shared memory space. The DSM 2005 workshop organized at the CCGrid 2005 symposium will serve as a major forum to present and share the latest research results of the work by international researchers, developers, and users. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: DSM Systems Implementation on clusters; DSM on High Peformance Networks; Memory Models; Consistencies Models and Protocols; Hardware support; Compiler Support; Fault Tolerance; Applications on DSM systems; OpenMP Deployment; DSM Benchmarking; Performance and Debugging Tools; DSM in wide area networks; and DSM and Grids.
