Method and apparatus for integration of non-volatile memory

A system for transferring content, comprising:

• a host processing system including at least one processor and system memory;
• at least one solid state graphics (SSG) board connected to the host processing system via a switch, wherein each SSG board includes at least one first memory architecture device connected via a local switch to at least one processing unit, each processing unit connected to a second memory architecture device,
• a single physical memory including each first memory architecture device, each second memory architecture device and the system memory;
• and
• a virtual storage driver in communication with the host processing system and each of the SSG boards,
• wherein content is paged from a first location in the single physical memory when an access request by one of the at least one processing unit and the at least one processor to a file in a virtual address range results in a fault;
• and
• wherein the virtual storage driver redirects the paged content to a second location in the single physical memory depending on which of the at least one processing unit and the at least one processor triggered the access request.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions which when executed in a processing system cause the processing system to execute a method for transferring content, the method comprising the steps of:

• accessing a file in response to an application running on a processor, wherein the processor is one of a first type processing unit and a second type processing unit;
• allocating a virtual address (VA) range for the file;
• mapping the file into the allocated VA range;
• paging content from a first location in a single physical memory when an access request by one of the first type processing unit and the second type processing unit to the file results in a fault, wherein the single physical memory includes at least a first memory architecture, a second memory architecture and system memory;
• and
• redirecting the paged content using a virtual storage driver to a second location in the single physical memory depending on which of the first type processing unit or the second type processing unit triggered the access request.
