Abstract: Distributed virtual memory (DVM) is one of the techniques that aim to maximise throughput under the reality that data transfer time between memory to memory is less than memory to hard disk which motivates these techniques. Distributed reversal cache (DRC) is a DVM technique that has been developed recently and is considered as a complete new approach. In this paper, part of memory of each master node is taken off to create the reversal cache then distributing its load over all nodes to free more area in the master node. Furthermore, we tackle the convenient issues of reversal cache and modify it for the sake of overcoming some stalls which mainly affect the performance of the master node by connecting the reversal cache technique with the DVM concept. Experimental results show that our technique outperformed other techniques in terms of page faults reduction and thrashing enhancement of 14% and 27%, respectively.
