ABSTRACT:
A memory management mechanism a nodal having multiple processors in a massively parallel computer system dynamically configures nodal memory on demand. A respective variable-sized subdivision of nodal memory is associated with each processor in the node. A processor may request additional memory, and the other processor(s) may grant or veto the request. If granted, the requested memory is added to the subdivision of the requesting processor. A processor can only access memory within its own subdivision. Preferably, each subdivision contains a daemon which monitors memory usage and generates requests for additional memory.
