Original Abstract Submitted

An exemplary system comprises a cluster of nodes that are communicatively coupled to one another via at least one direct link and collectively include a plurality of memory devices. The exemplary system also comprises at least one system memory manager communicatively coupled to the cluster of nodes. In one example, the system memory manager is configured to allocate a plurality of sharable memory pools across the memory devices. Various other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
