Deficiencies

Our implementation has shown that it is possible to access a persistent store in a distributed manner. While there are many features lacking that would make it suitable for serious use such as transactional support and failure tolerance, it is possible to utilize the benefits of distribution for current and future programs.

Currently no pages are removed from the cache, the system would definitely need eviction of last recently used pages if used to access a large number of pages. It would also be beneficial to prefetch pages based on usage patterns or simple read ahead techniques.
