Recent achievements in high-performance computing significantly narrow the performance gap between single and multi-node computing, and open up opportunities for systems with remote shared memory. The combination of in-memory storage, remote direct memory access and remote calls requires rethinking how data organized, protected and queried in distributed systems. Reviewed models let us implement new interpretations of distributed algorithms allowing us to validate different approaches to avoid race conditions, decrease resource acquisition or synchronization time. In this paper, we describe the data model for mixed memory access with analysis of optimized data structures. We also provide the result of experiments, which contain a performance comparison of data structures, operating with different approaches, evaluate the limitations of these models, and show that the model does not always meet expectations. The purpose of this paper to assist developers in designing data structures that will help to achieve architectural benefits or improve the design of existing distributed system.
