Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A node, comprising:
a hardware processor;
application container executing on the hardware processor;
an offload component comprising a processor, wherein the offload component is configured to:
receive an augmented write request originating from an application executing in an application container on the node, wherein the augmented write request is associated with data and wherein the offload component is located in a hardware layer of node; and
process the augmented write request by a file system (FS) client and a memory hypervisor module executing in a modified client FS container on the offload component, wherein processing the augment write request results in at least a portion of the data being written to a location in a storage pool,
wherein the data is stored at a physical address in a graphics processing unit (GPU) memory in a GPU on the node that is managed by a GPU module executing on the node,
wherein processing the augmented write request triggers the offload component to issue a callback request to obtain the physical address, wherein the physical address is used to process the augmented write request.
