Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a new idea of using a cluster as a memory resource for such applications requiring large amount of memory. We already proposed the Distributed Large Memory System: DLM, which enables the users to make use of large virtual memory by using remote memory distributed over nodes in a cluster. It achieves better performance than other remote paging schemes using a block swap device to access remote memory. It is designed for sequential programs accessing larger amount of data beyond local physical memory. In this paper, we propose the newly designed MPI-based DLM, which uses only MPI for inter-node communication, to exploit higher performance and portability than the former socket-based DLM.
