Feature changed by: Matthias Eckermann (mge1512) Feature #306904, revision 3 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. + Relations: + - memcached (url: http://www.danga.com/memcached/) + - RDMA in OFED 1.4 (url: http://www.openib.org/downloads/OFED/ofed-1.4 + /OFED-1.4-docs/rdma_cm_release_notes.txt) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306904

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
