Abstract

One aspect of the current disclosure provides a method for utilizing a plurality of memories associated with a plurality of devices in a computer system. The method includes: 1) receiving a data set for executing an application employing the devices; 2) determining whether the data set is larger than a storage capacity of any of the memories; and 3) when the data set is larger than the storage capacity of any of the memories, replicating a portion of the data set across the memories and distributing a remaining portion of the data set across at least some of the memories.
