In computer science, shared memory is memory that may be simultaneously accessed by multiple programs with an intent to provide communication among them or avoid redundant copies. Shared memory is an efficient means of passing data between programs. Depending on context, programs may run on a single processor or on multiple separate processors.
Efficient remote pointer sharing for enhanced access to key-value stores
A method to share remote DMA (RDMA) pointers to a key-value store among a plurality of clients. The method allocates a shared memory and accesses the key-value store with a key from a client and receives an information from the key-value store. The method further generates a RDMA pointer from the information, maps the key to a location in the shared memory, and generates a RDMA pointer record at the location. The method further stores the RDMA pointer and the key in the RDMA pointer record and shares the RDMA pointer record among the plurality of clients.
