摘要: This paper describes a programming system called Amber that permits single application program to use homogeneous network of computers in uniform way, making the appear as an integrated multiprocessor. is specifically designed for high performance case where each node shared-memory multiprocessor.Amber shows support loosely-coupled multiprocessing can be efficiently realized using object-based model. programs execute network-wide object space, with memory coherence maintained at level. Careful data placement and consistency control are essential reducing communication overhead system. programmers migration primitives location processing.
