Method and resource scheduler for enabling a computing unit to use remote memory resources

Abstract

A method and a resource scheduler for enabling a computing unit to use memory resources in a remote memory pool. The resource scheduler allocates a memory unit in the remote memory pool to the computing unit for usage of memory resources in the allocated memory unit, and assigns an optical wavelength for communication between the computing unit and the allocated memory unit over an optical network. The resource scheduler further configures at least the computing unit with a first mapping between the assigned optical wavelength and the allocated memory unit. Thereby, the optical network can be utilized efficiently to achieve rapid and reliable communication of messages from the computing unit to the allocated memory unit.
