Abstract
Various embodiments of systems and methods for implementing shared memory regions in a distributed shared memory system may involve implementing several different shared memory regions in each distributed shared memory node. Each node may reflect write access requests targeting those shared memory regions to one or more other nodes, depending on which shared region is targeted (e.g., requests targeting one region may be reflected to a single other node while requests targeting other regions may be reflected to more than one other node). A node's completion of the requested write access locally may be dependent on the completion of the write access in the other nodes, depending on which shared memory region is targeted.
