Abstract
Memory disaggregation promises transparent elasticity, high resource utilization and hardware heterogeneity in data centers by physically separating memory and compute into network-attached resource "blades". However, existing designs achieve performance at the cost of resource elasticity, restricting memory sharing to a single compute blade to avoid costly memory coherence traffic over the network.
