Benefits of using peer-to-peer shared virtual
memory
The peer-to-peer of virtual memory does not use disc space for
metadata storage.
Metadata are spread into the virtual memory built up with the
addition of part of the random-access memory of each connected
machine.
For the user, the metadata distribution is transparent: the interface
gives access to a shared space collective and unique.
Low mobilization of the shared machine supplying the bundle of
information stored in random-access memory.
Elimination of all physical risks related to using part of the
hard discs belonging to regular peer-to-peer users.
High access speed to data. Example of average access time to SDRam
: 40 nanoseconds versus 8 milliseconds for a type ultra ATA hard
disc.
Lower energy consumption.
