Implementation and Performance of Munin John B Carter John K Bennett and Wil ly Zwaenepoel Computer Systems Lab oratory Rice University Houston Texas Abstract the processors of a distributed memory multiproces sor This abstraction simplies the programming of Munin is a distributed shared memory DSM system distributed memory multiprocessors and allows paral that allows shared memory parallel programs to be ex lel programs written for shared memorymachines to be ecuted eciently on distributed memory multiproces ported easily The challenge in building a DSM sys sors Munin is unique among existing DSM systems in tem is to achieve good performance without requiring its use of multiple consistency protocols and in its use of the programmer to deviate signicantly from the con release consistency InMuninshared programvariables ventional shared memory programming model High are annotated with their expected access pattern and memory latency and the high cost of sending messages these annotations are then used by the runtime system make this dicult to choose a consistency protocol best suited to that ac To meet this challenge Munin incorporates two cess pattern Release consistency allowsMunin to mask novel features First Munin employs multiple con network latency and reduce the number of messages sistency protocols Each shared variable declaration req
