Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for a distributed memory object system. In one embodiment, a method includes forming a system cluster comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein each node includes a memory, a processor and a network interface to send and receive messages and data; creating a plurality of sharable memory spaces having partitioned data, wherein each space is a distributed memory object having a compute node, wherein the sharable memory spaces are at least one of persistent memory or DRAM cache; at a client, establishing an inter process communication between the client and a distributed memory object service; receiving a meta chunk including attributes about a file and a chunk map from a distributed memory object service, wherein the meta chunk includes chunk information including identity and location of a data chunk; and the client mapping the data chunk into virtual memory address space and accessing it directly.
