Abstract: A cluster compute server stores different types of data at different storage volumes in order to reduce data duplication at the storage volumes. The storage volumes are categorized into two classes: common storage volumes and dedicated storage volumes, wherein the common storage volumes store data to be accessed and used by multiple compute nodes (or multiple virtual servers) of the cluster compute server. The dedicated storage volumes, in contrast, store data to be accessed only by a corresponding compute node (or virtual server).

Abstract: A processor modifies memory management mode for a range of memory locations of a multilevel memory hierarchy based on changes in an application phase of an application executing at a processor. The processor monitors the application phase (e.g., computation-bound phase, input/output phase, or memory access phase) of the executing application and in response to a change in phase consults a management policy to identify a memory management mode. The processor automatically reconfigures a memory controller and other modules so that a range of memory locations of the multilevel memory hierarchy are managed according to the identified memory management mode. By changing the memory management mode for the range of memory locations according to the application phase, the processor improves processing efficiency and flexibility.
