Abstract
A hardware client and corresponding method employ an object-oriented memory device. The hardware client generates an object-oriented message associated with an object of an object class. The object class includes at least one data member and at least one method. The hardware client transmits the object-oriented message generated to the object-oriented memory device via a hardware communications interface. The hardware communications interface couples the hardware client to the object-oriented memory device. The object is instantiated or to-be instantiated in at least one physical memory of the object-oriented memory device according to the object class. The at least one method enables the object-oriented memory device to access the at least one data member for the hardware client.
Claims30
A hardware client configured to:
- generate an object-oriented message;
- and
- transmit the object-oriented message generated to an object-oriented memory device via a message bus coupled to a communications port of the object-oriented memory device, the communications port allocated solely to the hardware client or shared by the hardware client and at least one other hardware client for communicating object-oriented messages with the object-oriented memory device.
A method comprising:
- generating, at a hardware client of an object-oriented memory device, an object-oriented message;
- and
- transmitting the object-oriented message generated to the object-oriented memory device via a message bus coupled to a communications port of the object-oriented memory device, the communications port allocated solely to the hardware client or shared by the hardware client and at least one other hardware client for communicating object-oriented messages with the object-oriented memory device.
