Feature changed by: Peter Morreale (pmorreale) Feature #306904, revision 6 Title: Distributed Shared memory library Hackweek IV: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Peter Morreale (pmorreale) Description: The feature is a library to allow applications to reference and maintain shared memory segments with consistent data across a network fabric. This is similar to the old DEC Memory Channel functionality that allowed multiple machines to read and write to specific memory locations on those nodes. A couple of our customers have asked for similar functionality and as a result, I have been working on a initial implemention. For more specific information, please contact me directly.

Maybe one of them can be used to implement the functionality that the customers want. + #4: Peter Morreale (pmorreale) (2009-07-21 00:20:18) (reply to #2) + Possibly, however both of these are (in this context) transport + systems, albeit ARMCI is seemingly more complex. See above. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306904
