Abstract
Dynamically provisionable and allocatable memory external to a requesting apparatus may be provided. A request for primary memory may be made by an application executing on a client. An allocation logic unit may determine an allocation strategy in response to the request. As part of the allocation strategy, the allocation logic unit may identify memory appliances on which memory regions are to be allocated. The allocated memory regions may form the primary memory that is allocated to the requesting application. The allocation logic unit may send region allocation requests to region access unit of the respective memory appliances. The memory appliances on which the memory regions are allocated may be external to the client. The application may access the allocated memory regions via client-side access in which one or more processors in the client and/or the memory appliances are bypassed.
