Abstract
A system comprises compute nodes distributed over a network and configured to perform a pipeline parallel process. The system also comprises an extended memory comprising a global virtual address space which is shared by the compute nodes. The extended memory is configured to enable the compute nodes to exchange data over the network when the compute nodes perform the pipeline parallel process.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- compute nodes distributed over a network and configured to perform a pipeline parallel process;
- and
- an extended memory comprising a global virtual address space which is shared by the compute nodes;
- wherein the extended memory is configured to enable the compute nodes to exchange data over the network when the compute nodes perform the pipeline parallel process.
1 more element
A computer program product, comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to configure compute nodes to perform a pipeline parallel process, wherein the compute nodes are distributed over a network;
- and
- program instructions to configure an extended memory comprising a global virtual address space which is shared by the compute nodes;
- wherein the extended memory is configured to enable the compute nodes to exchange data over the network when the compute nodes perform the pipeline parallel process.
