Abstract:
A memory management service occupies a configurable portion of an overall memory system in a disaggregate compute environment. The service provides optimized data organization capabilities over the pool of real memory accessible to the system. The service enables various types of data stores to be implemented in hardware, including at a data structure level. Storage capacity conservation is enabled through the creation and management of high-performance, re-usable data structure implementations across the memory pool, and then using analytics (e.g., multi-tenant similarity and duplicate detection) to determine when data organizations should be used. The service also may re-align memory to different data structures that may be more efficient given data usage and distribution patterns. The service also advantageously manages automated backups efficiently.
