Distributed Memory Management

In the last two decades, the industry has seen a paradigm shift to big data and machine learning architectures that involve processing terabytes/petabytes of data as quickly as possible. As computing power became cheaper, there was a need to use multiple processors to speed up processing to a larger scale. This has led to distributed computing. Distributed computing refers to an arrangement of computer systems that are connected via some networking/distribution middleware. All the connected systems share resources and coordinate their activities via middleware so that they work in a way that is perceived as a single system by the end user. Distributed computing is needed due to the huge volume and throughput ...
