Abstract
A server apparatus comprises a plurality of server on a chip (SoC) nodes interconnected to each other through a node interconnect fabric. Each one of the SoC nodes has respective memory resources integral therewith. Each one of the SoC nodes has information computing resources accessible by one or more data processing systems. Each one of the SoC nodes configured with memory access functionality enabling allocation of at least a portion of said memory resources thereof to one or more other ones of the SoC nodes and enabling allocation of at least a portion of said memory resources of one or more other ones of the SoC nodes thereto based on a workload thereof.
