Project: Software Distributed Shared Memory - New Applications and Scalability

 

Overview

Software Distributed Shared Memory (S-DSM) can be used to build cost-effective high-performance computing platforms out of clusters of individual computers. In this project we propose to study applications that currently have not been studied extensively for S-DSM . We also propose to study large-scale S-DSM systems for embedded platforms. An example application for such a large-scale system is a distributed surveillance system with several hundreds of intelligent nodes where each node collects data from its environment, processes the data and puts it in a shared database system. The project is a cooperation with Axis Communications AB in Lund which will contribute in a reference group and with equipment to build an embedded S-DSM system.
