Stable object storage for multiprocessors with distributed shared memory

We present the design of a stable object storage for a parallel computer with distributed shared memory. A prototype has been built for our experimental multiprocessor MEMSY. The stable storage has been realized with RAM memory in order to obtain short access times. The objects stored are primarily checkpoints for roll back recovery.
