JumboMem: expand your memory at will
"JumboMemJumboMem provides a low-effort solution to the problem of running memory-hungry programs on memory-starved computers. The JumboMem software gives programs access to memory spread across multiple computers, providing the illusion that all of the memory resides within a single computer. When a program exceeds the memory in one computer, it automatically spills over into the memory of the next computer."
Your apps behave as if your computer had a large amount of memory (the sum of the memory available on every node of the network), and JumboMem transparently does the rest.
A pretty cool app.

Hmmm. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Have you use it in real life? How does it scale on busy systems? I mean, what if the remote host that holds some of our memory pages gets overloaded and move those pages into its swap, while other remote hosts are still available.
