Research Abstract |
This research realized the fast and large virtual memory by using remote memory distributed over nodes in a cluster, which has a high-speed network such as 10GbE and Infiniband. It enables us to use a cluster as a huge memory resource for sequential and multi-threaded applications requiring a larger amount of memory beyond available local memory. It achieved more stable and much higher performance compared to the traditional page swap system incorporated in OS kernel using local hard disks.
