An Edge Focused Distributed Shared Memory

Abstract:

Edge computing proposes access to largely unused computational resources without the added cost of the latency between the user and the Cloud. To take advantage of it we designed and implemented an abstraction layer compatible with standard JavaScript that builds a distributed shared memory on top of any existing web browser, like the ones present in smartphones or tablets, and a cloud server, enabling developers to use existing application code and enhance it by enabling collaboration between those devices. The synchronization mechanism supports mixed consistency, preferring eventual consistency but providing a stronger serializability when required, allowing the developers to tune it to their specific needs.
