Abstract: An “RDMA-Based Memory Allocator” applies remote direct memory access (RDMA) messaging to provide fast lock-free memory allocations and de-allocations for shared memory distributed across multiple servers in an RDMA-based network. Alternately, in various implementations, the RDMA-Based Memory Allocator combines RDMA messaging and remote procedure call (RPC) requests to provide fast lock-free memory allocations and de-allocations for shared memory distributed across multiple servers in an RDMA-based network. In either case, any of the networked servers can act as either or both a client for requesting (or releasing) memory allocations and a host for hosting a portion of the distributed memory. Further, any server (including the requesting client) may act as the host for the distributed memory being allocated or de-allocated by any client via RDMA messaging. Advantageously, being lock-free improves overall performance of memory access between networked computers by reducing overall system latency.

The load balancer routes requests for the resource by the user group to the first server group or the second server group based on the assignment.

Abstract: A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both.
