Systems, methods, and apparatus for transferring data between interconnected devices

Abstract

A method for transferring data may include writing, from a producing device, data to a storage device through an interconnect, determining a consumer device for the data, prefetching the data from the storage device, and transferring, based on the determining, the data to the consumer device through the interconnect. The method may further comprise receiving, at a prefetcher for the storage device, an indication of a relationship between the producing device and the consumer device, and determining the consumer device based on the indication. The method may further comprise placing the data in a stream at the storage device based on the relationship between the producing device and the consumer device. The indication may be provided by an application associated with the consumer device. Receiving the indication may include receiving the indication through a coherent memory protocol for the interconnect.
