Other research projects have explored the use of a single address space as a shared name space. Most of these systems are intended to execute on a single machine. We believe an efficient implementation of a single address space across multiple machines is possible by combining a high performance DSM system and a fast RPC mechanism to provide both data movement and function shipping. Psyche is perhaps the most similar to our proposed system. However , differences exist in the cross domain communication mechanism.
Psyche uses page faults to trigger cross domain calls rather than explicit traps by stubs.
