Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for improving resiliency and performance of clustered memory. A computing device can acquire a chunk of byte-addressable memory from a cluster memory host. The computing device can then identify an active set of allocated memory pages and an inactive set of allocated memory pages for a process executing on the computing device. Next, the computing device can store the active set of allocated memory pages for the process in the memory of the computing device. Finally, the computing device can store the inactive set of allocated memory pages for the process in the chunk of byte-addressable memory of the cluster memory host.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for creating a pool of memory out of local memories of host machines, and providing that pool for the hosts to use. The pool is managed by a controller that keeps track of memory usage and allocated memory among hosts. The controller allocates or reclaims memory between hosts, as needed by the hosts. Memory allocated from a second host to a first host may then be divided into smaller portions by the first host, and further allocated to virtual machines executing within the first host.
