Heterogeneous distributed architectures require high-level abstractions to ease the programmability and efficiently manage resources. Both the publish-subscribe and the shared memory models offer such abstraction. However they are intended to be used in different application contexts. In this paper we propose to merge these two models into a new one. It benefits from the rigorous cache coherence management of the shared memory and the ability to cope with dynamic large-scale environment of the publish-subscribe model. The publish-subscribe mechanisms have been implemented within a distributed shared memory system and tested using an heterogeneous micro-server.

“…The basis for shared memory programming is formed by a global memory space, which is not physically available on clusters and other distributed memory architectures. To enable shared memory style programming on such machines, an early approach was to build a virtual or distributed shared memory layer on top of the distributed memory [6], [25], [24]. Therefore, the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) model [22], was proposed and is gaining popularity.…”

A Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) approach treats a distributed system as if the memory were shared on a global level. Given such a global view on memory, the user may program applications very much like shared memory systems. This greatly simplifies the tasks of developing parallel applications, because no explicit communication has to be specified in the program for data exchange between different computing nodes. In this paper we present DART, a runtime environment, which implements the PGAS paradigm on largescale high-performance computing clusters. A specific feature of our implementation is the use of one-sided communication of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) version 3 (i.e. MPI-3) as the underlying communication substrate. We evaluated the performance of the implementation with several low-level kernels in order to determine overheads and limitations in comparison to the underlying MPI-3.
