Abstract

This paper presents a summary of the results of an examination of protocols produced via the integration of concurrency and coherence methods. Additionally locality of reference considerations are added to the integrating mixtures. Variants of a selected integration are simulated and a detailed analysis which clearly describes transactional behaviour within a realistically parametered distributed shared memory (DSM) environment is given. The performance tradeoffs identified through the simulation study should prove useful to designers of database systems in a DSM environment
