Patent Images
1. A method for managing memory, comprising:
- monitoring usage status of memory in a first computer device to determine available memory addresses;
mapping at least one part of the available memory addresses to externally accessible shared memory addresses; and
managing the shared memory addresses based on a memory table such that the at least one part of the available memory addresses are accessible to a second computer device via the shared memory addresses, and the memory is connected to a dual in-line memory module interface of the first computer device;
wherein mapping at least one part of the available memory addresses to the externally accessible shared memory addresses comprises;
registering the at least one part of the available memory addresses with a network adapter of the first computer device; and
obtaining a shared memory address corresponding to the at least one part of the available memory addresses based on a configuration associated with the network adapter.
