Abstract: A computer system includes physical memory devices of different types that store randomly-accessible data in a main memory of the computer system. In one approach, data is stored in memory at one or more logical addresses allocated to an application by an operating system. The data is physically stored in a first memory device of a first memory type (e.g., NVRAM). The operating system determines an access pattern for the stored data. In response to determining the access pattern, the data is moved from the first memory device to a second memory device of a different memory type (e.g., DRAM).

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses of distributed computing based on memory as a service are described. For example, a set of networked computing devices can each be configured to execute an application that accesses memory using a virtual memory address region. Each respective device can map the virtual memory address region to the local memory for a first period of time during which the application is being executed in the respective device, map the virtual memory address region to a local memory of a remote device in the group for a second period of time after starting the application in the respective device and before terminating the application in the respective device, and request the remote device to process data in the virtual memory address region during at least the second period of time.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses to provide memory as a service are described. For example, a borrower device is configured to: communicate with a lender device; borrow an amount of memory from the lender device; expand memory capacity of the borrower device for applications running on the borrower device, using at least the local memory of the borrower device and the amount of memory borrowed from the lender device; and service accesses by the applications to memory via communication link between the borrower device and the lender device.

Abstract: A system having multiple devices that can host different versions of an artificial neural network (ANN) as well as different versions of a feature dictionary. In the system, encoded inputs for the ANN can be decoded by the feature dictionary, which allows for encoded input to be sent to a master version of the ANN over a network instead of an original version of the input which usually includes more data than the encoded input. Thus, by using the feature dictionary for training of a master ANN there can be reduction of data transmission.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses to accelerate accessing of borrowed memory over network connection are described. For example, a memory management unit (MMU) of a computing device can be configured to be connected both to the random access memory over a memory bus and to a computer network via a communication device. The computing device can borrow an amount of memory from a remote device over a network connection using the communication device; and applications running in the computing device can use virtual memory addresses mapped to the borrowed memory. When a virtual address mapped to the borrowed memory is used, the MMU translates the virtual address into a physical address and instruct the communication device to access the borrowed memory.

Abstract: A computer system includes physical memory devices of different types that store randomly-accessible data in memory of the computer system. In one approach, access to memory in an address space is maintained by an operating system of the computer system. A virtual page is associated with a first memory type. A page table entry is generated to map a virtual address of the virtual page to a physical address in a first memory device of the first memory type. The page table entry is used by a memory management unit to store the virtual page at the physical address.
