Currently, I am working on Global Memoy Management in a workstation cluster with
New high-speed networks greatly encourage the use of network memory as a cache for virtual memory and file pages, thereby reducing the need for disk access. Network nodes with memory-intensive applications can use the primary memory of lightly-loaded nodes as temporary backing store. This introduce a new level of the memory hierarchy: namely, a global memory cache that lies (logically) between local memory and disk.
Because pages are the fundamental transfer and access units in remote memory systems, page size is a key performance factor. Recently, page sizes of modern processors have been increasing in order to provide more TLB coverage and amortize disk access costs. Unfortunately, for high-speed networks, small transfers are needed to provide low latency. This trend in page size is thus at odds with the use of network memory on high-speed networks. We studied the use of subpages as a means of reducing transfer size and latency in a remote-memory environment.
I did my thesis research on Debugging in an Distributed Object-Oriented System in 1993 at the Universite Joseph Fourier, Grenoble . I was involved in the GUIDE project at the Laboratoire Bull-IMAG , part of the IMAG institut.
