Reliably Locking System V Shared Memory for User Level Communication in Linux

Overview A major trend in recent cluster communication systems is to circumvent the operating system during the actual data transfers. That, on the one hand, reduces latency since there is no user - kernel transition needed and, on the other hand, increases bandwidth by avoiding additional intermediate copies. The data transfer is handled completely by the networking hardware and its DMA engine. This paper presents an extended solution that can handle System V shared memory as well.

Start-up sees low-cost future in clusters

Latency matters. The latency of a traditional system is about 200ns. But in that situation, operating systems run on each server instead of spanning several, requiring that higher-level software be adapted to the cluster foundation.
