At SC24, Luke Logan presented MegaMmap, a software-based distributed shared memory (DSM) technology that blurs the boundary between memory and storage. Developed by Luke Logan, Anthony Kougkas, and Xian-He Sun, MegaMmap lets data-intensive applications work with datasets larger than available DRAM through memory tiering, prefetching, and coherence optimization.
