title = "Load balanced distributed directories",
abstract = "We present LB-Spiral, a novel distributed directory protocol for shared objects, suitable for large-scale distributed shared memory systems. Each shared object has an owner node that can modify its value. The ownership may change by moving the object from one node to another in response to move requests. The value of an object can be read by other nodes with lookup requests. The distinctive feature of LB-Spiral is that it balances the processing load on nodes in addition to minimizing the communication cost in general network topologies. In contrast, the existing distributed directory protocols for general network topologies only minimize the communication cost. In particular, LB-Spiral achieves poly-log approximation for both load and communication cost in general networks with respect to the problem parameters.",
