  • Method and apparatus for extending memory using a memory server
    Patent number: 6516342
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for extending the main memory of computer systems across network boundaries is provided. A memory server is allocated on a network server, or a separate machine connected to a network to enable client computers on the network to extend their main memory on demand for user applications.
