Abstract :
To make complex computer systems more robust and fault tolerant, data must be replicated for high availability. The level of replication must be configurable to control overhead costs. Using an application suite, the authors test several distributed shared memory coherence protocols under different workloads and analyze the operation costs, fault tolerance, and configurability of each
