Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing processing, memory, storage, network, and cloud computing to significantly improve the efficiency and performance of processing nodes. Embodiments described herein can provide transparent and dynamic performance acceleration, especially with big data or other memory intensive applications, by reducing or eliminating overhead typically associated with memory management, storage management, networking, and data directories. Rather, embodiments manage memory objects at the memory level which can significantly shorten the pathways between storage and memory and between memory and processing, thereby eliminating the associated overhead between each.
