Scalable and coherent shared memory has been a long-sought-after but elusive goal. In contrast to today's popular distributed-computing models, the authors present a software-defined server architecture that is a scale-up shared-memory multiprocessor, yet uses ubiquitous commodity scale-out clu...

In contrast to today's popular distributed-computing models, the authors present a software-defined server architecture that is a scale-up shared-memory multiprocessor, yet uses ubiquitous commodity scale-out clusters.
