Why use Mirror Memory rather than Hardware reflective memory?
A. Hardware Reflective Memory requires additional hardware to be installed in the computer and needs a dedicated network for communication. There are physical separation limits between machines served by Hardware reflective memory. AmirusMM requires just a software installation and can be used to prototype solutions without reorganizing programmer workstations or development labs. There are no limitations on the geographical area a mirror memory system can cover, and the memory reflected can be up to 64Mbytes. For read-intensive applications — particularly those which process shared data repetitively while performing matrix arithmetic — Mirror Memory provides significant performance advantages. As the memory is implemented in main memory, data is cached close to the CPU for very fast retrieval. This translates to faster execution times and less backplane data transfer. Mirror Memory is very closely integrated with the operating system upon which it runs, whereas hardware reflective m
