Abstract
This paper presents how a specific technique (SharedOnRead) can be used to improve performances of a distributed objects language. We present results for a network of workstations, providing comparisons between MPI and C++// implementations, both on homogeneous and heterogeneous platforms. The results could be applied to other models of distribution, such as RMI.
