Abstract
An approach to offloading probabilistic computations is described. An application server comprising a memory and a processor and coupled to a network-attached storage device configured to create a dedicated process in response to a procedural call to a virtual machine container based on a data request is disclosed. The processor forwards the data request to the network-attached storage device, programs one or more virtual machines to perform a probabilistic computation based on the procedural call, and directs the probabilistic computation to a first virtual machine of the one or more virtual machines. The request for data is transformed into a modified call using a virtualized lookup call.
