Hypervisor-based management of local and remote virtual memory pages

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon and executable by a processor to:

• compare a target memory size and a local memory size using a hypervisor module that resides upon a compute blade, the comparison based upon a unit of digital information for the target memory size and an additional unit of digital information for the local memory size;
• swap a local virtual memory page with a remote virtual memory page via a communication channel passing through a backplane using a swapping module that resides on the hypervisor module, the swapping based upon the comparing of the target memory size and the local memory size;
• overwrite a victim page of the compute blade with the swapped remote virtual memory page, wherein the victim page is selected by the hypervisor module;
• store data of the victim page of the compute blade via a temporary page on the compute blade;
• and
• transmit the local virtual memory page to a memory blade via the communication channel passing through the backplane using a transmission module that resides upon the compute blade.
