Abstract

A computer system and method for remotely allocating memory space in a memory of a remote computing device comprising a local IOP which remotely allocates memory space, for use by the local IOP, in a memory of a remote computing device. The local IOP detects a condition requiring a remote memory allocation and sends a remote allocate message to the remote computing device. The local IOP also performs an internal memory allocation in response to a remote allocate message initiated and sent by the remote computing device. The memory is partitioned to allocate distinct portions of memory for use by the IOP and the remote computing device. An allocation verification table contains data pertaining to the authorization of remote computing devices to allocate memory in the local IOP. The local IOP checks the allocation verification table to verify that the remote computing device is authorized to allocate memory. A communication network interface effectuates communication, across a communication network, between the local IOP and remote computing devices, The communication network interface sends remote allocate messages to the remote computing devices and receives remote allocate messages from the remote computing device.
