  • Patent number: 11507285
    Abstract: Disclosed is a controller for a disaggregated memory device. The controller may receive a request to allocate memory of a specific size from the disaggregated memory device to a computing device, and may generate a memory block device in the specific size from a memory pool formed from physical memory modules configured on the disaggregated memory device. The controller may expose the memory block device to the computing device as a Non-Volatile Memory Express (“NVMe”) target device, and may control access to the memory block device by converting NVMe access requests in a first format from the computing device to access requests in a different second format supported by the memory block device.

  • Patent number: 11455247
    Abstract: Disclosed is a controller for providing applications seamless access to local and remote memory so that data of a particular application that is moved out of the Random Access Memory (“RAM”) of a local device may be stored and accessed in RAM of a remote device rather than on higher latency and slower performing storage mediums. The controller provides an application with a first allocation of RAM from the local device running the application, and a second allocation of RAM from the remote device. The controller registers to receive a page fault notification for a particular page that the application attempts to access and that is not stored in the first allocation of RAM. The controller retrieves the particular page from the second allocation of RAM, and loads it into the first allocation of RAM where it becomes accessible by the application.
