Subject: shared memory vs nonshared memory vs protocols
I am interested in establishing a definitive list of considerations for
evaluating "communications" in parallel systems. It seems to me that
"protocol" is the genus and implementations are the species.
I would like to know if there have been definitive papers/books which
completely treat the issue of what it takes (i.e., primitive objects,
functions) to establish a protocol, the logical principles involved (i.e.,
no deadlock), and performance implications/comparisons.
Thanks.
