Abstract
A multi-dimensional memory cluster. In some embodiments, the memory cluster includes a first node, having an external port for making a connection to a host; a second node, connected to the first node by a first memory-centric connection; the second node storing a service level descriptor; the first node being configured to: receive, from the host, a first request, addressed to the second node, for the service level descriptor; and forward the first request to the second node, the second node being configured to: receive the first request; and send a first response, to the first node, the first response including the service level descriptor of the second node.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a first node, having an external port for making a connection to a host;
- a second node, connected to the first node by a first memory-centric connection;
- the second node storing a service level descriptor;
- the first node being configured to:
- receive, from the host, a first request, addressed to the second node, for the service level descriptor;
- and
- forward the first request to the second node,
- the second node being configured to:
- receive the first request;
- and
- send a first response to the host via the first node, the first response including the service level descriptor of the second node.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a first node having an external port for making a connection to a host, a first request, addressed to a second node connected to the first node by a first memory-centric connection, the first request being a request for a service level descriptor stored by the second node;
- forwarding, by the first node, the first request to the second node;
- receiving, by the second node, the first request;
- and
- sending a first response, by the second node, to the host via the first node, the first response including the service level descriptor of the second node.
A system, comprising:
- a first node, comprising a first means for processing, and having an external port for making a connection to a host;
- a second node, connected to the first node by a first memory-centric connection, the second node comprising a second means for processing;
- the second node storing a service level descriptor;
- the first means for processing being configured to:
- receive, from the host, a first request, addressed to the second node, for the service level descriptor;
- and
- forward the first request to the second node,
- the second means for processing being configured to:
- receive the first request;
- and
- send a first response to the host via the first node, the first response including the service level descriptor of the second node.
