Abstract

Various embodiments for reducing communication between cluster nodes and optimizing failover processing in a distributed shared memory (DSM)-based application by at least one processor device are provided. In one embodiment, for a data structure operable on a DSM, a read-mostly portion is maintained in a single copy sharable between the cluster nodes while an updatable portion is maintained in multiple copies, each of the multiple copies dedicated to a single cluster node.
