contents Real structural glasses form through various out-of-equilibrium processes, including temperature quenches, rapid compression, shear, and aging. Each of these processes should be formally understandable within the recently formulated dynamical mean-field theory of glasses, but many of the numerical tools needed to solve the relevant equations for sufficiently long timescales do not yet exist. Numerical simulations of structureless (and therefore mean-field-like) model glass formers can nevertheless aid searching for and understanding such solutions, thanks to their ability to disentangle structural from dimensional effects. We here study the infinite-range Mari-Kurchan model under simple non-equilibrium processes and compare the results with those from the random Lorentz gas [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 55 334001, (2022)], which are both mean-field-like and become formally equivalent in the limit of infinite spatial dimensions. Of particular interest are jamming from crunching and under instantaneous temperature quenches. The study allows for an algorithmic understanding of the jamming density and of its approach to the infinite-dimensional limit. The results provide important insight into the eventual solution of the dynamical mean-field theory, including onsets and anomalous relaxation, as well as into the various algorithmic schemes for jamming.
