    Abstract: A system and method are provided for facilitating efficient management of data structures stored in remote memory. During operation, the system receives a request to allocate memory for a first part in a data structure stored in a remote memory associated with a compute node in a network. The system pre-allocates a buffer in the remote memory for a plurality of parts in the data structure and stores a first local descriptor associated with the buffer in a local worker table stored in a volatile memory of the compute node. The first local descriptor facilitates servicing future access requests to the first and other parts in the data structure. The system stores a first global descriptor for the buffer in a shared global table stored in the remote memory and generates a first reference corresponding to the first part, thereby facilitating faster traversals of the data structure.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for selective erase of persistent and non-volatile memory (NVM) devices. The method includes receiving a notification of a deleted block, the deleted block including sensitive data located in a memory block of an NVM device. The method also includes marking an address of the deleted block as read protected to prevent reading of the deleted block. The method also includes assigning a criticality ranking and a wear out level to the deleted block. The method also includes prioritizing write commands to the deleted block based on the criticality ranking and the wear out level of the deleted block. The method also includes overwriting the deleted block with zeroes or a specific pattern to permanently erase the sensitive data.
