Limitations and future work• Trade-off in fault-tolerance

• Local disk is the bottleneck• Multiple remote replicas

• Fault-tolerance vs. space-efficiency

• Performance isolation among applications• W/o limitation on each application’s usage• W/o mapping between remote memory and applications

• Infiniswap: remote paging over RDMA• Application performance• Cluster memory utilization

Conclusion

• Efficient, practical memory disaggregation• No hardware design• No application modification• Fault-tolerance• Scalability

Source code is coming soon!https://github.com/Infiniswap/infiniswap.git
