Abstract
Embodiments are directed to establishing registration objects for distributed processes, to managing memory on worker processes of a distributed software application and to using object serialization to communicate references to shim objects. In one scenario, a computer system accesses distributed process instances in a distributed runtime and creates a registration object for each of the process instances in the distributed runtime. The registration object includes a key value pair, where the key includes a unique identifier (ID) that identifies a distributed array instance associated with the distributed process, and the value includes a reference to a local portion of the distributed array instance. The computer system then maintains a mapping between the unique ID and the distributed array instance using the registration object. As such, the key value refers to the local portion of the same distributed array instance on each distributed process of the distributed runtime.
