Abstract
Various embodiments of systems and methods to efficiently use a compute element to process a plurality of values distributed over a plurality of servers using a plurality of keys. In various embodiments, a system is configured to identify (or “derive”) the various server locations of various data values, to send requests to the various servers for the needed data values, to receive the data values from the various servers, and to process the various data values received. In various embodiments, requests are sent and data values are received via a switching network. In various embodiments, the servers are organized in a key value store, which may optionally be a shared memory pool. Various embodiments are systems and methods with a small number of compute elements and servers, but in alternative embodiments the elements may be expanded to hundreds or thousands of compute elements and servers.
