Abstract
A system and method for managing memory resources. In some embodiments, the system includes a first memory server, a second memory server, and a server-linking switch connected to the first memory server and to the second memory server. The first server may include a cache-coherent switch and a first memory module. In some embodiments, the first memory module is connected to the cache-coherent switch, and the cache-coherent switch is connected to the server-linking switch.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a first server, comprising:
- a processor;
- a first switch including a procession element;
- and
- a first memory device;
- and
- a second switch connected to the first server,
- wherein:
- the first memory device is connected to the first switch via a first interface, and
- the first switch is connected to the second switch via a second interface different from the first interface.
A method for accessing memory in a computing system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a second switch, a first packet, from a second server, wherein the second switch is connected to a first server and to the second server, the second server comprising a stored-program processing circuit, and the first server comprising a processor, a first switch including a processing element, and a first memory device, wherein the first memory device is connected to the first switch via a first interface, the first switch is connected to the second switch via a second interface different from the first interface, and wherein the second switch is configured to alter an attribute of the first memory device;
- and
- transmitting the first packet to the first server.
A system, comprising:
- a server, comprising:
- a processor;
- a first switch including a processing element;
- and
- a memory device;
- and
- second switching means connected to the server,
- wherein:
- the memory device is connected to the first switch via a first interface, and
- the first switch is connected to the second switching means via a second interface different from the first interface.
