Abstract
A framework disclosed herein extends a relaxed, scoped memory model to a system that includes nodes across a commodity network and maintains coherency across the system. A new scope, cluster scope, is defined, that allows for memory accesses at scopes less than cluster scope to operate on locally cached versions of remote data from across the commodity network without having to issue expensive network operations. Cluster scope operations generate network commands that are used to synchronize memory across the commodity network.
