common distributed memory
1Distributed computing — is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems. A distributed system consists of multiple autonomous computers that communicate through a computer network. The computers interact with each other in order to achieve a common goal …
2Distributed hash table — A distributed hash table (DHT) is a class of a decentralized distributed system that provides a lookup service similar to a hash table; (key, value) pairs are stored in a DHT, and any participating node can efficiently retrieve the value… …
3Memory virtualization — In computer science, memory virtualization decouples volatile random access memory (RAM) resources from individual systems in the data center, and then aggregates those resources into a virtualized memory pool available to any computer in the… …
4Distributed GIS — concerns itself with GI Systems that do not have all of the system components in the same physical location. This could be the processing, the database, the rendering or the user interface. Examples of distributed systems are web based GIS,… …
5Memory coherence — is an issue that affects the design of computer systems in which two or more processors or cores share a common area of memory.[1][2][3][4] In a uniprocessor system (whereby, in today s terms, there exists only one core), there is only one… …
6Common Log File System — (CLFS) is a general purpose logging subsystem that is accessible to both kernel mode as well as user mode applications for building high performance transaction logs. It was introduced with Windows Server 2003 R2 and included in later Windows OSs …
7Distributed Objects Everywhere — (DOE) was a long running Sun Microsystems project to build a distributed computing environment based on the CORBA system in the back end and OpenStep as the user interface. First started in 1990 and announced soon thereafter, it remained… …
8Distributed cognition — is a theory of psychology developed in the mid 1980s by Edwin Hutchins. Using insights from sociology, cognitive science, and the psychology of Vygotsky (cf activity theory) it emphasizes the social aspects of cognition. It is a framework (not a… …
9Distributed object communication — realizes communication between distributed objects in the distributed computing environment. The main role is to interconnect objects residing in non local memory space and allowing them to perform remote calls and exchange data. The widely used… …
10Distributed Component Object Model — (DCOM) is a proprietary Microsoft technology for communication among software components distributed across networked computers. DCOM, which originally was called Network OLE , extends Microsoft s COM, and provides the communication substrate… …
