Copy and restore of page in byte-addressable chunks of cluster memory

A method implemented by a computing device, comprising:

• submitting a write request to a byte-addressable chunk of memory stored by a memory host that is remote from the computing device, wherein the byte-addressable chunk of memory is read-only;
• determining that a page-fault occurred in response to the write request;
• in response to determining that the page-fault has occurred in response to the write request, copying a page associated with the write request from the byte-addressable chunk of memory to a memory of the computing device;
• and
• updating a page table entry for the page to refer to a location of the page in the memory of the computing device.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to at least:

• submit a write request to a byte-addressable chunk of memory stored by a memory host that is remote from the computing device, wherein the byte-addressable chunk of memory is read-only;
• determine that a page-fault occurred in response to the write request;
• in response to a determination that the page-fault has occurred in response to the write request, copy a page associated with the write request from the byte-addressable chunk of memory to the memory of the computing device;
• and
• update a page table entry for the page to refer to a location of the page in the memory of the computing device.
