Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for allocating memory. An example method includes: allocating, for an application logic, a region of external primary memory included in a memory appliance; selecting, by a client device in response to a first request to reclaim a first portion of local primary memory in the client device, a portion of external primary memory from the region of external primary memory; copying data from the first portion of local primary memory to the portion of external primary memory; and converting a portion of a first virtual address space at the client device by remapping at least one virtual address in the first virtual address space at the client device from the first portion of local primary memory to the portion of external primary memory.
