The Study of Fast Virtual Memory Systems for Massive data Processing

本研究利用分布在集群节点上的远程内存，采用10GbE、Infiniband等高速网络，实现了快速大容量的虚拟内存。它使我们能够使用集群作为一个巨大的内存资源，用于顺序和多线程应用程序，这些应用程序需要比可用本地内存更多的内存。与使用本地硬盘集成在OS内核中的传统页面交换系统相比，它实现了更稳定和更高的性能。

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.
