Pointers in Far Memory

Effectively exploiting emerging far-memory technology requires consideration of operating on richly connected data outside the context parent process. Operating-system in development offers help by exposing abstractions such as memory objects and globally invariant pointers that can be traversed devices newly instantiated compute. Such ideas will allow applications running future heterogeneous distributed systems with disaggregated nodes to exploit near-memory processing for higher performance independently scale their compute resources lower cost.
