Abstract
DSM-PM2 is a platform for designing, implementing and experimenting
multithreaded DSM consistency protocols. It provides a generic
toolbox which facilitates protocol design and allows for easy
experimentation with alternative protocols for a given consistency
abstract model. DSM-PM2 is portable across a wide range of clusters. We
illustrate its power with figures obtained for different protocols
implementing sequential consistency, release consistency and Java
consistency, on top of Myrinet, Fast-Ethernet and SCI clusters.
