Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for using distributed write records to maintain concurrency for remote data. A client device prepares to update remote data stored in a memory server that is exposed to the client device for remote memory access. Preparing to update the remote data includes allocating a region of the local memory to update the remote data and, in response to the allocation, storing a write record to the region. The write stores the update data in a data field and a location in one or more location fields. The location denotes where the update data of the write record is to be written. Furthermore, the client device, in response to storing the write record, flags the remote data as having a pending update at the location by updating metadata of the remote data.
