ABSTRACT:
A system and method for a distributed shared memory. The system includes multiple processors, each processor transmitting write commands issued therefrom concerning a shared memory to each of the processors, such that each processor receives each shared memory write command transmitted. The system also includes multiple local memories, each local memory associated with one of the processors and having a copy of the shared memory, wherein each processor completes each received shared memory write command at its associated local memory such that the copies of the shared memory remain consistent at all times. The method includes transmitting write commands concerning the shared memory to each of the processors, such that each processor receives each shared memory write command transmitted, and completing each received shared memory write command at the associated local memory such that the copies of the shared memory remain consistent at all times.
