Efficient Distributed Memory Management with RDMA and Caching

Summary: GAM is a directory-based, cache-coherent distributed in-memory platform over RDMA with a unified cross-node memory model. It exposes a simple API, enables PSO write-hiding, and supports a transaction engine and DHT atop GAM with strong gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
