Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present application relates to systems and methods for consolidating common resource units. BACKGROUND Resource nodes such as virtual machines often operate independently while accessing or consuming resource units. In some instances, multiple resource nodes may independently allocate memory for one or more of the same resource units and this may lead to inefficiencies such as redundant memory usage. This duplication may further strain resources, limit scalability, and can result in performance degradation.
