Patent attributes
Systems, methods and apparatuses of distributed computing based on Memory as a Service are described. For example, a set of networked computing devices can each be configured to execute an application that accesses memory using a virtual memory address region. Each respective device can map the virtual memory address region to the local memory for a first period of time during which the application is being executed in the respective device, map the virtual memory address region to a local memory of a remote device in the group for a second period of time after starting the application in the respective device and before terminating the application in the respective device, and request the remote device to process data in the virtual memory address region during at least the second period of time.
