Remote Memory Ring Buffers in a Cluster of Data Processing Nodes

A data processing node comprising:

• an inter-node messaging module including a plurality of sets of registers, wherein each set of registers is configured to define a context instance;
• and
• a plurality of data processing cores each coupled to the inter-node messaging module, wherein each of the plurality of data processing cores is configured to map a user level process thereof to one of the plurality of sets of registers and thereby to a respective context instance;
• wherein the user level process is configured to utilize the respective context instance to perform an action to a ring buffer of a target data processing node, and wherein the target data processing node is coupled to the data processing node through a fabric.

A data processing system comprising:

• a target node including a ring buffer in local memory thereof;
• and
• a plurality of initiator nodes connected to each other and to the target node through a fabric, wherein each of the initiator nodes includes:
• an inter-node messaging module comprising a plurality of sets of registers, wherein each set of registers is configured to define a context instance;
• and
• a plurality of data processing cores each coupled to the inter-node messaging module, wherein each of the plurality of data processing cores is configured to map a user level process thereof to one of the sets of registers and thereby to a respective context instance;
• wherein the user level process is configured to utilize the respective context instance to perform an action to the ring buffer of the target node through the fabric.
