The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Disclosed herein is a persistent memory (PMEM)-based distributed memory object system, referred to as the PMEM DMO system, that provides affordable means of integrating low-latency PMEM spaces with other devices, including servers that do not directly support PMEM. One embodiment comprises providing a cluster of servers with PMEM storage (PMEM servers) and connecting the PMEM servers to a plurality of applications servers using a low-latency network, such as a remote direct memory access, background processes on each of the application servers are tasked to perform input/output operations for the application servers to locally materialize objects from and synchronize/persist objects to the remote PMEM spaces on the PMEM servers. Data materialized from the PMEM servers is stored to the local cache of the application server for use. Also disclosed are data eviction policies for clearing the local cache of the application servers to make space for new data read.”

The patent application was filed on April 1, 2019 (16/372,235).
